Some people say that the funny events in Italy during World War II are all rumors. What is the truth?

Some people say that the funny events in Italy during World War II are all rumors. What is the truth? On this issue, we actually need to introduce it from several aspects. You can refer to the following:

First, the Italian army during World War II was really full of jokes:

During World War II, the Italian army was indeed well-equipped, and their weapons and equipment were even better than some Germans. But when it comes to combat effectiveness, it's really embarrassing. No matter how the Italians argue, they can't avoid this fact. On the battlefield in Africa, the Italian army was several times that of the British army, but it was beaten to death in the end. Even before the exchange of fire with the British army, the Italian army had oiled its feet. These are all recorded in history. Later, the Germans came to help and defeated the British. However, as soon as the Germans leave, the Italian army will be wiped out immediately.

Second, the Italian army's fighting capacity is not strong, and the army has no fighting spirit:

Italian army has no strict discipline. They only shout slogans before going to war. Every soldier looks desperate, but on the battlefield, these soldiers have no fighting spirit at all. Italian soldiers actually have a chance of winning, but they can't grasp it from the ground, and sometimes they don't even obey the unified orders of the chief. For example, the collective surrender of an Italian army in World War II is the most vivid example, and it is ridiculous that their commander did not know it.

Third, some Italian soldiers performed well in individual combat:

Now many Italians like to give some individual examples, such as a soldier or several soldiers in a certain battle, who fought very tenaciously, but this is only a very small proportion. Of course, the Second World War was a great disaster for mankind, but the historical truth, we should remember, the Italian army did have many jokes.
