Great footage of Italian troops in action in the desert.Please change the title these troops are Italian.Propaganda has taught it was mostly Germans in the Africa Korps but the majority of infantry and Artillery were Italian

[wolficatz]

During the El Alamein battles these Italian troops were part of Panzerarmee Afrika...

Italians can't fight as a unit? You really are an ignorant. It was Italian soldiers from the 7th and 9th Bersaglieri Regiment that took over 6,000 Allied prisoners at Mersa Matruh in June 1942.

The "RADIO LONDON" transmitted the official notice:"the rests of the Folgore division have resisted beyond every limit of the human possibilities" In the 21st of November 1942 W. Curchill said :"We really must bow in front of the rest of those who have been the 'LIONS' of the Folgore Division"The FOLGORE was withdrawn from the forehead of El Alamein the 3 November 1942 without being defeat. Poor ramses.

250.000 italians nei tuoi sogni... ma che te inventi!

Fra le sabbie non più deserte

son qui di presidio per l'eternità i ragazzi della Folgore

fior fiore di un popolo e di un Esercito in armi.

Caduti per un'idea, senza rimpianto, onorati nel ricordo dello stesso nemico,

essi additano agli italiani, nella buona e nell'avversa fortuna,

il cammino dell'onore e della gloria.

Viandante, arrestati e riverisci.

Dio degli Eserciti,

accogli gli spiriti di questi ragazzi in quell'angolo di cielo

che riserbi ai martiri ed agli Eroi.

BRIGATA PARACADUTISTI "FOLGORE"

Graziani was mainly on foot, 20.000 Italians surrendered at Sidi Barrani after found theyr weapons useless against british tanks. "Mostly without fighting" is only in your head: do we want to comment the fall of Tobruk in 1942 where British forces surrendered to inferior mainly italian attacking forces? Do we want to comment on Norway and Singapore? Regards

One of the main characteristics of a dictature is the lack of sense for riducule, indeed, that said 70% of Panzerarmee Africa was made of "lessen" Italians against which Commonwealth troops grinded their theets 12 days long enjoying a material superiority Panzerarmee Afrika could only have dreamt of all the campaign long... I agree on incompetent leadership, not on cowardice.
