Why was the Italian army so bad during World War II? I don’t believe what those people say. I really want to confirm it with my own eyes. I believe that the Italian army

This has a great relationship with Mussolini, Italy’s “national leader” at the time.

Comparing the influence and political prestige of Mussolini in Italy and Hitler in Germany, the former is far from being comparable to the latter. In other words, the fascization of Italy at that time was far less profound and thorough than what Hitler had carried out in Germany. Therefore, this resulted in most of the officers and soldiers in the Italian army not wanting to sacrifice their lives for this so-called "leader" in battle.

In addition, Italy’s military education system was not as rigorous as Germany’s at that time. During World War II, many senior generals in the German army had formal "professional backgrounds." The main generals of the Italian army are completely "new aristocrats".

It is not surprising that the Italian army in World War II made many "jokes" due to its backward strategies and tactics, low morale and disenchantment among the troops (these are the two main reasons)~~
