The ship you stole off Greece was made in Italy and it basically singlehandedly defeated the Ottoman navy in the first Balkan war. Also during ww2 they didn't want it to be captured by the Germans so they ordered to blow it up but the greek soldiers mutinied stole the ship and took it to Egypt. It served as a patrol ship in the Indian Ocean for the rest of the war. It's still visitable today in Athens

@@crorioga yeah of course (i wrote about it from memory, didnt look it up once again), it also took quite a long time before he went up there. Interesting would be reading the original text bc i believe much more was written about it then it is now on wiki, would give better sight into the whole thing. Also interesting in this context are words by francisco franco at the news about hitler's death ("Over his mortal remains stands his victorious figure. With the palm of the martyr, God gives Hitler the laurels of victory."). He managed to survive over 20 assassination attenpts, so God was clearly not against Franco.

[@crorioga]

@@valikadilnik4368 It is interesting that the context given is from another person not in charge of Mussolini's soul.
