The most embarrassing military action of World War II

In the history of modern wars, if there were no Italy, it would only be full of blood and killings - and the existence of Italy has added some comedy to modern wars.

Many historical researchers believe that it was Italy’s lagging behind in World War II that accelerated the demise of the fascist regime headed by Hitler.

Therefore, it can be said: Thank God that Italy joined the Axis Powers during World War II, otherwise the Nazi Iron Cross might really be spread all over the world.

In fact, Italy enjoyed a period of prosperity at the beginning of the war. Because of its appeasement policy, Italy used modern aircraft, tanks, artillery, and even poison gas troops to "victoriously" occupy Ethiopia, a poor and backward North African country. (囧).

But after Britain, the United States and France intervened in the war, Italy became really Italy.

During World War II, Italy formed a fascist alliance with Germany and Japan, known as the "Axis Powers." Germany's participation in the war with Italy had an ambivalent mentality. This mentality reflected A joke about the comments given by German military enthusiasts to Italy -

If Italy remains neutral, it is equivalent to increasing the strength of our army by 10 divisions; if Italy goes against the fascists, it is equivalent to our army Increase the strength of 20 divisions; but if Italy wants to join the Axis Powers, our army must spend 50 divisions to protect it! ! (Italy, tell me what you like...)
