[@paoloviti6156]

As an Italian I knew quite well the Italian military situation especially during the thirties, almost handled by real amateurs starting with the combined major staff, army, navy and aviation that hardly communicated with each other. This staff had little knowledge, among many matters, on techinical issues and as a consequence they gave bad directions/advice to important firms like Ansaldo or FIAT in order to improve their productivity yet those same firms in order to save money pocket as much they could never did serious research and stuck to bolted/riveted armour, very slow production and ensuing obsolete tanks before even being drafted. Without writing a book it is curious to know that already during the end of the 1st WW knew that bolted/riveted armour was dangerous and knew that sloped armour offered better protection. They knew very well that the Germans in the late twenties were already mastering welding techniques and Ansaldo has been welding massive slabs of armour but nothing came out of it. Finally I want to mention about the the P26/40: altrough the design started in 1940 by direct order of Mussolini (jumping over the bureaucracy!) it was much better than the contemporary Italian tanks yet it was riveted with better sloped armour, it was hydraulic operated and probaby because of a narrow ring so it only had a crew of two on the turret, it had an obsolet suspension that was not effective on high speed. The real problem was the engine that wasted so much time because it was not available for that tank so instead of opting for a powerful in-line aereo engine, I think only one was in production, instead it was decided to devope a new 330 HP SPA 8V diesel engine instead of putting a license production 12-cylinder Maybach HL120 TRM 300 that would have been available in less then one year with it's grearbox so the rest is history but what they did was far too late with very limited resources. Hope I did't bore you....

All were crap as well as the fighting spirit of the Italians in ww2.

[@timonsolus]

@@jasonhiggins8909 : The Italians actually fought bravely in WW2. Large scale surrenders happened in the early desert war because of a disparity in the quality of equipment. For example, in 1940-41 the Italian army didn't have an anti-tank gun which could penetrate the British Matilda II infantry tank's armour. It's not surprising that Italian soldiers gave up when attacked by an almost invulnerable enemy tank. (In the Battle of Arras in 1940, the Matilda put even a Waffen-SS regiment of the Totenkopf Division into a panic-stricken flight when their 37 mm anti-tank guns had no effect! You can't blame Italians for surrendering when even the Waffen-SS runs away...)

[@paoloviti6156]

@@timonsolus it is again correct and I must point out that that not only the Ariete tank division stopped cold the British tanks but the also the troops fought quite well in the final months in Tunisia led for once by one of the best Italian general, Giovanni Messe, needless to say that he came from the ranks...! But I wanted to point out that after the armistice of 20 September the troops of R.S.I. fought generally speaking much better included the aviation as they were all more motivated but it was increasingly clear that they do much against the sheer material superiority of the allies.

But if you think that the allies never did something bad you're wrong, a quick example: Japan entered the war after the USA oil embargo, Japan never had his own risources, like steel and oil and gum, and it was used (forced) by the US to buy from them. When Roosevelt signed that embargo he knew how it was going to end up... So when he said "suddenly and deliberately attacked" he's hiding the fact that USA have "suddenly and deliberately" pushed japan into the conflict, before talking shit, just read some books please.

[@sloanchampion85]

They should have directed all their production efforts to the P40....it was the most effective and at least could make a showing on the battlefield and have a decent chance

[@WrongholeReagan]

Sloan Champion If they could’ve, I promise they would’ve. Problem was, their industry wasn’t as capable as the German or Western Allied industries of a massive redirection of resources like that. Because the main SPA factory at Turin was bombed to shit in 1942, the Italians couldn’t even start production of the P40 until the summer of 1943, so they only managed to make about 100 or so before the armistice. The P40 was a good design, it just wasn’t possible to make it a standard issue Italian tank during wartime.

[@timonsolus]

Italy allocated too much steel to their navy, and too little to their army. Italy built 2 battleships (Roma and Impero) and an aircraft carrier (Aquilia) that saw little or no active service in WW2. The steel used to build those ships could have been used to build at least 3,000 tanks. Italy should never have gone to war with France and Britain in the first place - that was always going to end up a disaster. A much better strategy for Italy would have been to invade Yugoslavia on 10 June 1940 instead of France. At that time France and Britain were on the brink of losing the Battle of France, and would be in no mood to get involved in a war with Italy, as long as Italy didn't attack them first. Italy would have been quite capable of defeating Yugoslavia, and even Greece as well, provided that she didn't have to fight British forces in Africa at the same time! Fighting a war in 3 theatres at once was a terrible idea, and Italy was poorly equipped to fight a mobile war in the desert in any case.

[@paoloviti6156]

It is not entirely correct as Italy laid out 4 battleships: the Vittorio Veneto, Littorio, Roma and the Impero (the last one was never completed) rebuilt 4 battleships and also a fleet of heavy cruisers and cruisers not to mention the aircraft carrier Aquila, never completed. The consequences was not only stretching thin limited resources for tanks but all the rest but also it had to deal with chronic shortage of fuel. In practice almost the whole fleet was "grounded" in the main harbours more or less as floating AA batteries because of acute shortage of bunker oil since the early 1942 when it was most needed. Regarding the proposed invasion of Yugoslavia I doubt very much that Italy would have managed that too because not only because of the near total lack of strategies but a green army that was badly led and to top it we had no Rommel or whatsoever, just see the grossly conducted invasion of Greece notto mention Russia and of course the desert war in Africa. I could write a book and nope Italy should have never entered in war...

[@67claudius]

True, with the steel of a Littorio class battleship, which was of better quality, about 1000 tanks could be built, but Italy had not planned to enter it in a world war. Mussolini entered the war only after the unexpected surrender of France, convinced that the war would not last long.

[@timonsolus]

@@paoloviti6156 : In 1940, the Italians had combat experience from the Spanish Civil War, so they weren't entirely green. Italian logistics for their infantry were far better suited to a war in Yugoslavia than in Africa (usable horse-drawn supply carts, and naval dominance in the Adriatic Sea.) The historical Italian campaign in Greece failed for a number of reasons. 1) The Italian force committed was too small for the task (due to war in Africa) 2) The invasion took place in winter 3) Yugoslavia was not conquered first, preventing the Italians from outflanking the Greek defensive line along the border with Albania 4) Italy had no help from Bulgaria 5) Greece had help from the British Navy and RAF Most of these problems might be avoided if Mussolini had not foolishly declared war on France and Britain in June 1940. Finally, the Italian Army was completely unsuited to a campaign in the USSR - yet another country that Italy should never have declared war on.

[@paoloviti6156]

@@timonsolus Thanks for replying! You are correct and I forgot completely about the experience they have gained during the Spanish Civil war but altough it should have been invaluable but it was not enough and didn't really capitalize on it to pass it on to the green troops. Between the Spanish Civil war and when Italy entered in war it was almost the same problem: badly led demotivated troops, badly trained officers with few exceptions and didn't really knew what to do. My italian grandfather fought all the wars from 1st WW until the battle of El Alemian but he was a captain of the front line medical unit and he always complained about the young officers judging them rather lousy and not really capable to lead including my uncle but he was coming from a "good family" and had the guts to marry my grandfather's daughter...! The result was that it was largely a static army that was never really pushing or taking advantage of the situation but from what I heard it was the artillery that gained quite good experience in Spain and somehow the aviation not much more. Regarding your view on invading Yugoslavia perhaps you are correct and Bulgaria had entered only when the Germans have invaded Yugoslavia. It was a mess that Italy could have easily avoided by looking at the date when they invaded October 1940 that coincided with the birthday of Mussolini, really crazy because it was raining season and of course it was snowing on the mountains and many troops suffered from extreme cold and frostbite. Hope I didn't bore you...

Good video, however, Matilda II is an infantry tank not a cruiser tank. Italians also deployed what is considered one of the best anti-tank guns of WWII, the 90mm Canone da 90/53, it was also used as a naval and anti-aircraft gun, comparable to the famed German 88mm.

A high ranking Luftwaffe officer was shocked by the amount of military age males he saw in Sicily who were not in the military or in industrial jobs, he was told by his Italian hosts that there were simply not enough boots to call up for military service all of those who could be called. Italian fighting men were badly let down by Italian industry, in almost every sector, poor quality control in ammunition meant that Italian ships would never know if their shells would fall short or over shoot their targets, and as for tanks Germany did offer tooling for the panzer 111 to the Italians, but his was blocked by Italian industry which didn't want that to happen, and the Italian fighting man on the front line paid for this in Rivers of blood

In fact, 75% of the mechanical or electrical parts adjusted by ECU testing come from Germany. Amazing data, especially if you look at 6% of parts from Italy. this means that the German parts are much less reliable than those of other European countries. Japan ranks third with 8% of damaged parts. However, this round was won by France, with only 2% of defective parts. Germany 75% Faulty parts Italy 6% Faulty parts Alfa Romeo more reliable than five famous German brands To get the number out of a sample of 100,000, we divided the number of errors per vehicle in each brand by the total number of registered vehicles and multiplied by 100,000 to get a clear idea for each brand. The results were once again consistent, with Alfa Romeo winning over German brands such as Volkswagen, Opel, Audi, BMW and Mercedes. The Alfa factured only 29 damage against a more worrying 64 than the Mercedes.

To put things into perspective, this joke can be also fully applied to how US forces fared in Afghanistan, which didn't even learn by being already defeated in Vietnam in a similar fashion.

Understandable, since the British were defeated in battle by the Zulus in the past. Who all wielded actual spears, unlike many Lybians and Ethiopians who had some firearms.

Yes you won, and you know how? The British soldiers killed all the livestock of the Zulu and reduced their entire population, so first of all the untrained women and children, to famine. Thousands died because of this. And what about the Boers? When they failed to defeat them in battle, the British put the civilian population in some of the earliest concentration camps with almost no food to prevent the guerrila to have help from their families. Again killing thousands of untrained innocents in the process. But I guess famine in the colonies is a common practice for Britain: just the name Ireland speaks for itself, while India was basically kept in hostage denying its population the means to produce their own basic food, like salt and cereals. Ghandi's protests were aimed exactly at removing this unfair condition. In Iraq the civilian villages were bombed with incendiary weapons and burned down, not some military bases, and the RAF commander in charge wrote to Churchill that in his opinion burning the civilians had the same effects of using chemical weapons, so after all it didn't matter that the batch was coming late for the operations. But after all YOU WON, right? Meanwhile, trying to advocate that all the Ethiopians and Lybians were untrained and unable to fight it's utterly idiotic and disrepectful to them, since they put a formidable fight on their own, and you British should only thank the Ethiopians for all the help they gave you in the Eastern Africa.
