Why is the performance of the Italian army during World War II called a joke of World War II?

This is mainly because Italy's ability at that time was not particularly strong, its weapons were particularly poor, and the morale of soldiers in the army was also very lacking. It was suggested that Italians were descendants of the Romans, but there was no sign of the Romans at that time. On the battlefield, it failed to show the strength of the Roman Empire. However, although the Italian army did not perform satisfactorily in World War II, it was by no means useless. At least when Donetsk was still called Stalin, the Italian army not only stormed him, but also captured him in one fell swoop.

When France retreated, Italy suddenly declared war on France. At that time, Italy's offensive troops had 22 divisions, with a total of more than 300,000 people. At this time, the Italian French army was insufficient170,000. Although the French suffered defeat in Germany, it doesn't mean they are easy to bully. They just need a victory to prove their glory in Napoleon's empire. Germany's attitude towards Italy's participation in the war is very contradictory, which reflects a joke about German military fans' comments on Italy.

During World War II, Italy ran when it met the enemy. Then the Italians ran all the way and the British chased them all the way. More than 30,000 British troops chased more than 200,000 Italian troops. This scene is too dramatic. Italy surrendered so many soldiers that the British simply could not accept it. When reporting, I have to say that the Italians who captured several acres of land today surrendered too much to count, so I had to take a look. It is estimated that these surrendered soldiers probably occupied several acres of land.

In fact, Italy's weapons at that time were still good. But if Italy wants to join the Axis, our army must spend 50 divisions to protect it. For example, fighter planes made in Italy at that time, thunderbolt fighters, were not inferior to any country in the world at that time. 1940 Italian thunder fighter was successfully developed. The fighter plane has a maximum speed of 595km/h and is equipped with two large caliber machine guns, with a wing of12.7mm. In the air battle of 1943 in malta island, Sicily, the lightning fighter group of four Italian squadrons caused heavy losses to Britain.
