What are the funny but true things in history?

In history, the funniest thing should be the Italian army in World War II. They can be said to be an invincible army Hitler found Mussolini as an ally, which was really bad for eight generations. Defeated by defeated France, Mussolini actually refused at the beginning of World War II. Italy, like World War I, was an ally of Germany and Austria-Hungary at the beginning. After the war, it remained basically neutral and did not help Germany fight with Austria-Hungary. After the fight, I found that Germany was dying, so I joined the allied camp and slapped Germany in the face.

During World War II, it remained neutral until Germany defeated France and won Paris. At this time, Mussolini finally felt that it was time to make a move, so he immediately went to war with France and launched an attack on France at the border between Italy and France. However, even this French army still defeated the Italian army and drove it back to the mainland.

Of course, France finally surrendered to Germany, and Italy also took the opportunity to get some benefits from France. Marching into Greece Mussolini watched Hitler successfully fight in Europe, attacking cities and villages, and occupying one country after another. He was finally unwilling to be lonely. You know, in ancient times, his Italy was the Roman Empire, and he wanted to rebuild the former glory of the Roman Empire and become the new Julius Caesar. So he decided to go to war with neighboring Greece.

▲ Italians marched in Greece for half a year, but they were beaten back by the Greeks. This time Mussolini mobilized one million troops, including planes, tanks, artillery and other equipment. Mussolini even said that our Italian army went to Greece to hold armed demonstrations (it is estimated that the Italian army entered Greece like nobody's business).

But as a result, the Italians marched in Greece for half a year and were finally beaten back by the Greeks. So that on the border between Italy and France, the French set up a sign that said, "Greeks, don't go forward, this is France." Finally, Lao Mo had no choice but to find his good friend Hitler. Hitler looked at Lao Mo so unwillingly and hated iron for not turning into steel, but who wanted them to be fascist countries and allies?

So they sent several German divisions to fight in Greece. As a result, within a week, the Germans defeated the Greeks. In the end, the Greeks will surrender to the Germans. They only have one request: don't let Italians come to the surrender ceremony. We are not ashamed to surrender to you, but we are ashamed to surrender to them. "Miracle" in the history of war: American troops bombed two small islands in front of Sardinia, where more than 10,000 Italians were stationed. But in the end, the allied bombing killed more than 40 Italians, and Italy accepted the surrender of American pilots.

In the Battle of North Africa, British tanks charged Italian anti-tank gun positions with a small amount. At the beginning of the charge, the Italians shot back. After just two or three minutes, they suddenly stopped resisting and raised the white flag. When the Englishman asked why, the Italian said confidently, "Because our ammunition box was not opened with a crowbar, we were forced to surrender." In Yugoslavia, a German officer captured by guerrillas was very surprised and asked, "Where did you get the anti-tank gun?"

When the guerrillas told him that it was captured from their ally, the Italians, he was filled with emotion: "Alas! These lovely Italians. " 1On June 30th, 940, the Italian Governor in Libya, Marshal Barbo, was shot down by Italy's own anti-aircraft gun over the bloody sand. In order to cover up this tragic event, the Italians announced that the Marshal had been killed in an air battle with the British.

Marshal graziani became his successor. This may be the most brilliant battle of Italian air defense forces in World War II, comparable to the killing of Isoroku Yamamoto by American troops. Barbo was the highest-ranking soldier who was accidentally injured in World War II.

In 43, when the Allies landed in Italy, it was a battlefield. The allied forces fought fiercely all morning without any casualties. The only loss is that their plane threw the airborne troops into the sea (using the sandbar as a beach). Of course, there are many "funny" incidents created by the Italian army in World War II, so I won't list them here. In short, the Italian army during World War II did not come out to fight at all, but came out for fun. It is because of the existence of Italy that World War II was not so cruel. The existence of this pig teammate really makes our Fuhrer very hard.
