good spirited soldiers-but no good equipment at hand.the navy warships had poor armor.the tanks were obsolete.the artillery was from ww1 and obsolete.the airforce fighter planes had too weak engines.the chiefs of staff were incompetent due to economic restrictions and not paying attention to detail for demanding organizational changes to the entire army.for all of these shortcomings the italian soldier performed admirable.
@giugimar Les Français sont une nation de lâches et de collaborateurs
Criminels de guerre.
Cédées aux Allemands en quelques heures.
Les Français avaient le ministre des affaires juives, même pas présents dans l'Allemagne nazie, et ils meurent centaines depportarono de milliers de juifs

at El Alamein, between 25 October and 4 November, the 6000 lions of Folgore Division were under attack from 50 000 men three British divisions 44th (Home Counties) Infantry Division, 50th (Northumbrian) Infantry Division, 7th Armoured Division Desert Rats with 350 tanks, 250 armore, 1st and 2nd Free French and the Royal Hellenic Brigades, supported by RAF and 400 cannons of UK Artillery. After 11 days of battle British have failed to break through in the Italian sector. 200 men survived.
@itseasyforyou Yeah, this was "Faccetta Nera", a song of 1935 (Ethiopia campaign). And YEAH - music was all we had: hymn, marches, "songs in the time of war". No modern and enough airforce, no armour to speak about, not enough men, warships beautiful to look at but with no fuel to rub them, no radar. Was this a "power" to throw into a war against practically the whole world??!!! Mindless idiots. Makes me mad every time I think about it. I was around then.

@Rico8458 I thought the same. Looks like they are educating Circus performers. But they were some of the most elite italian soldiers during WWII.

@wijse It was a mix of gymnastic education and combat exercising; those italians had still a sort of ancient physical view of war.

Toujours aussi ridicules les Italiens, mais au moins ils ne furent pas des criminels.
