What are the rumors about Italy in the world?

I'm here to wash the ground for the Italian army. The following content is quoted from the internet, just like many arguments of the Italian Black Army repeatedly quote unverifiable rumors, believe it or not. Let me start with a conclusion: unlike Nazi Germany, Hitler had a strong control over the army and the government, but Mussolini was always Mussolini, and the Italian army did not unite with Mussolini. Italy's national strength was indeed limited, but even so, the fighting capacity and fighting will of the Italian army at the critical moment were enough to go down in history. Please don't hack these poor, lovely and respectable Italian soldiers. They are the only Axis troops that have not been brainwashed.

In World War II, China people had the impression that the Italians were the puppet troops of the German army, and they felt that the Italians had extremely poor fighting capacity. In fact, this is a big misunderstanding. Because there are many German fans in China, in order to maintain the brave image of noble Aryan Germans in German fans' hearts, many funny aspects of the Italian army were misinformed on the Internet. This is why many Germans in China will make up online jokes to laugh at the fighting capacity of Italians. The argument that Italy was defeated in North Africa and the Soviet Union has no accurate basis in history. All corrections have now been made:

Myth 1: Italians are the burden and burden of Germans.

The fact is that the Italian Expeditionary Force captured 654.38 million Soviet troops in the battle of sweeping Ukraine and independently captured Stalingrad and other important towns. In the north wing of Stalingrad, the Italian army's defensive front is as long as 1200 km, and the German army in charge of supply not only does not provide reinforcements and weapons (especially the scarce anti-tank guns), but also often dispatches Italian trucks to transport materials for itself (there was an Italian transport fleet in the siege of Stalingrad). When the Soviet Union's absolutely superior armored forces attacked, there were no reinforcements, and the Italian army with insufficient heavy weapons was surrounded by breakthroughs (Romanian army and Hungarian army). Shanjun and other troops persisted for nearly a month until they received an evacuation order. The Italian army group of 30 thousand people fought hard, including hand-to-hand combat, and 4 thousand people broke through. Without these so-called Italian "baggage", how can the Germans defend this 200-kilometer position on the Don River?

In the "crusade" launched in the Battle of Gubi Well in North Africa on June 5438+094165438+10/8, 2008, the Italian armored division Ariet ("Ram") fought against the 22nd armored brigade of the British army, and the British army was not inferior, and Ariet was not enriched in this battle. 79 tanks of the 22nd British Armored Brigade were destroyed or seriously damaged. The Italians have been providing most of the troops in the Axis forces and are responsible for escorting the transport fleet, which has caused great losses. Without Italians, Rommel's tens of thousands of men could deal with hundreds of thousands of Commonwealth troops. Can the Germans win without the infantry provided by the Italians and the effective artillery and armored forces with poor equipment but fierce fighting? Without Italians to cover their flanks and act as defenders from time to time in the spirit of self-sacrifice, can Germans attack with confidence and retreat safely? Did you know that Gubi Well was twice? Do you know the St. Kyle Naval Infantry Battalion? Do you know about combat engineering? Who is at the front? Do you know the Ram armored division that fought to the end? Do you know the epic battle of paratroopers in vogel? Do you know that an Italian soldier rushed to a British tank with an explosive charge after his arm was broken? Rommel said, "German soldiers shocked the world, and Italian soldiers shocked German soldiers." You can read Rommel's biography if you don't believe me. So Italians often do dirty work for Germans, but they are humiliated by German powder. Myth 2: Captives caught in Italy can eat luxury packages every day? A British pilot was captured by Italy and put into a prison camp. That night, he got his own dinner in prison. From appetizers to macaroni and meat, and even the last fruit and red wine, they are well-equipped, luxurious and unnatural. "Is this the so-called last supper?" The next morning, a senior general appeared in front of him: "Yesterday, we made a small mistake and provided you with dinner as a general soldier." This is definitely not intentional abuse of prisoners. Can you forgive the wrong guard for me? " The fact is: this pilot is a member of the British royal family, so he is considering from the aspect of political influence. Other British pilots don't get such treatment, otherwise most Italian officers and men will be nervous. Myth 3: The 5,000-strong Italian army disarmed on the spot after encountering roadblocks set up by British companies. When Churchill called to ask the British commander auchinleck how many Italians were captured, auchinleck proudly said, "I can't count them. There are about five acres of officers and two hundred acres of soldiers." The fact is that after Alaman's defeat, Rommel decided to retreat and seized Italian fresh water and oil supplies. Italians retreated to the desert area on foot, and there was no fresh water. Many soldiers were either wiped out by the British army with the advantage of mechanization or died of thirst because of lack of water. Finally, the Italians surrendered to the British army. By the way, in the Libyan desert in Wang Yuanzheng, Persia, 30,000 people died of thirst because of lack of water. Rumor 4: The German army received an Italian rescue request in the desert and sent a squadron of troops to the rescue. Meet Italy and find each other boiling macaroni with precious water? The fact is that this place is Alaman, where the Italian army withstood the onslaught of the main force of the British Montgomery Army. Italy was completely defeated. All the soldiers had to retreat to 200 kilometers away on foot. On the way, they met an Italian general. The general knew that Italy's fresh water and oil supplies had been robbed by the Germans, and he was unable to withdraw. Mussolini will shoot him when he comes back. He will die on the battlefield with his orderly. Before the last world war, the general said. The story that France was beaten back before surrendering by surprise attack is also a household name. The fact is that even Mussolini wanted to stick to the consistent policy of neutrality on European issues, because Hitler pressured him to join the war. Why should a peace-loving national army prepare an invasion plan outside the local defense plan? The French always thought that their maginot line would repeat the grand occasion of World War I meat grinder, and the British would shed their last drop of blood for it. It became the last resort of Vichy government to command the most elite French army at that time and guard Petain's army on the French-Italian border. Why do you think Hitler asked the French to keep such a government? At that time, the focus of the Italian attack was Fort Vosges, which was a very solid link in the French maginot line. Fortress Vosges is also a fortress built on the steep Mount Vosges. It's hard to imagine the difficulty of attacking such a fortress built on a high mountain. Don't forget that the Germans bypassed maginot line, which was not a positive breakthrough. Let's look at the performance of the Germans in Brest fortress, and we will know how difficult it is to break through a fortress from the front. During the First World War, the Russians realized that the role of the fortress in modern warfare was not as good as before, so they planned to turn it into a military camp. When the Germans attacked Brest fortress, the Russian army had almost dismantled the fort and fortress, but the Germans still paid heavy casualties in order to conquer this weak fortress.

There are so many words in the small code, which makes me tired. Welcome to like and share, and don't accept criticism (proud face).
