[silvan500]

@Aussiephil99 So why Australian soldiers captured it for their use,

when the Italians in retreat left them in the desert???

[Aussiephil99]

@silvan500 ...it's a joke you idiot...it means they were alway retreating.....something Australian soldiers didn't do...that Italians were famous for

[ondasuondaable]

@Aussiephil99 You are the stupid who after 65 years still believe in british propaganda.Inform yourself better.Italians soldier was famous for being one of the bravest,see what churchill thought of the italian soldiers.Unfortunately we had also the worst equipment (tanks,guns from the ww1 and before)..we have the greatest history..we are the sons of the romans..you are meaningless

[Aussiephil99]

@ondasuondaable ....Italian were famous for their cowardice....and nothing else!!!

[ondasuondaable]

@Aussiephil99 yeah...This is the response expected from a person who comes from a country without roots such as your

[Kenshiroit]

@Aussiephil99 who said that?

[FGalaxie]

@Aussiephil99 Tell that to the Decima Mas frogmen, or the Folgore in North Africa, praised by Rommel, or the Alpini on the Russian front, praised by Stalin.

[Aussiephil99]

@ondasuondaable ......is that why the Italians surrendered to a British force 1/10 their size.........brave my arse!!!!!!!!!

[ondasuondaable]

@Aussiephil99 wanna talk abut 85.000 british soldiers who surrended to 10.000 japs in singapore in 1942?

[Aussiephil99]

@ondasuondaable ...wanna talk about any significant battles Italian were involved in that they won..........99.9% of people looking at this video are Italian.(as i'm sure you are) which is the reason your comment received thumbs up. Face facts......if there's one thing Italy is famous for in WW2 it's for being COWARDS!!!

[FGalaxie]

@Aussiephil99 If there one thinh Australia is famous for its for being CANNON FODDER. Getting killed in wars half way around the world that dont concern them.

Why dont you read about when the Italian were praised by Rommel, Churchil and Stalin..

The folgore and bersaglieri

[lizard151103]

@ondasuondaable bullshit, Italians lost to ethiopian natives, nuff said...

[ondasuondaable]

@lizard151103 italy won that war and made ethiopia part of its empire..google it

[lizard151103]

@ondasuondaable not the first one though, the second time , yes, only after using biochemical weapons on the primative people of ethiopia which shamelessly violation the Geneva Convention, what a jock the Italian army is!

[FGalaxie]

@lizard151103 You pathetic fuck

The Ethiopians broke the conventions of war first by using expanding or dum dum bullets.

And the gas Italy used was in small quantities and they had no method of controlling it.

[FGalaxie]

@lizard151103 They lost one battle decades before.

Later Ethiopia was added to the new empire.

[FGalaxie]

@Aussiephil99 Australian soldiers only have one gear - cannon fodder gear.

Always used as cannon fodder by the Poms or Yanks in ever war

[FGalaxie]

@Aussiephil99 Aussie soldiers are just canoon fodder for the poms and yanks in every war.

Rule briatania .... bend over bogans

[Pitcairn2]

Bit of revisionism going on here. The curse of the 21st century.

The Italian airforce were held at bay by a tiny force on Malta for instance. The one Italian Raid on England was a disaster. A CR42 force landed on the beach hear my house. When arrested by the Police the Pilot asked 'Is this Germany?. That Airoplane is now at the RAF Museum in Hendon. I am not decrying the quality of Italian Planes or Pilots, but lets face facts. They did not compare with the Luftwaffe or RAF by any means.

@Pitcairn2

I think these few lines show through your classic British propaganda of information which you have soaked in the postwar period and that unfortunately can not get rid of.

Read a good book on the Royal Air Force (I advise you to Criss Dunning: Courage Alone!) and Might be able to understand something.

[bf109e4trop]

@bf109e4trop

I meant Italian Royal Air Force: Regia Aeronautica.

[Pitcairn2]

@bf109e4trop Read many books about the RAF and have for my neigbour Sir Alan Smith who flew Hurricanes in The BOB and in North Africa, where he shot 8 italians out of the sky. Also in my sea time worked with an ex Luftwaffe ME109 pilot who did not rate his Italian colleagues very highly. Not Propaganda which in your case is anything you cannot , or do want to admit is truth. You are plain and simple, a revisionist.

[bf109e4trop]

@Pitcairn2 If this also I have known several former ex Luftwaffe colleagues and I have confirmed all of the great esteem for the Italian riders alone among the other as he confirmed a former Luftwaffe instructor who has been granted the privilege of flying the Me-262 in anticipation of their use in italy.The revisionism I leave it to you.

[FGalaxie]

@Pitcairn2 They did when they got their good planes.

had some aces.

[Xilon10]

Fuk you to bastards ignorant and stupid and learn LATINO or italian lenguagge ignorant.

[PITRIS2009]

ITALIA = FUNNY IDIOTS



[PITRIS2009]

ITALIA = FUCKING COLABORANTS

[ColaWhiski]

Respect, fame and honour for all fallen pilots!

[lindsman68]

Ok, the Italian air force never shot down a B-24.

[jdewitt77]

Not true. Long Live Italy!

[FGalaxie]

@lindsman68 They shot down plenty of other planes, h Cantauro and Veltro were so good the Germans stole them and took them back to Germany

[TheLindsman68]

@FGalaxie Right, and that's why a very limited British airforce at Maltal held off the Italian airforce despite being heavily outnumbered. You will need to provide some references for your claims of Italo-airforce success because I can find nothing, especially when flown by Italians. And if the Germans stole them, that was for scrap metal.

[FGalaxie]

@TheLindsman68 On the Russian front, Squadirglias equipped with the Saetta had a better kill ratio than the Russian air force.

The germans took the Macchi mc 205 veltro back with them, to defend the Reich.

[TheLindsman68]

@FGalaxie The Russian airforce was notoriously poor prior to 1943 so that's no big deal. Regarding your clain abut the Macchi 205, yes that looks to be true. But what about the Italian navy and Air Force in WWII. Shameful cowardice.

[FGalaxie]

@TheLindsman68 The Italian navy didnt have radar,

The frogmen of malta? Decima Mas? sunk how many tonnes of Pommy ships.

As stated the Airforce did well against the Russians,

The Saetta and folgore could hold its own against Hurricanes.

How did Dieppe go? Canucks ebeing cannon fodder for the English again, do they ever fight a war for their own interests?

[guasc0]

@lindsman68

Quando i B-24 entrarono in servizio L'Italia aveva già firmato l'armistizio, quindi la Regia Areonautica non poteva

abbattere i B-24.

Se con questa affermazione cercavi di far capire che sei uno stronzetto ci sei riuscito.
