@Mr101beers In a frontline of 14 km, 3500 italian para fought against 50.000 british soldiers. The allies with 400 pieces of artillery, 350 tanks and 400 armoured fighting vehicle, couldn't break through the front line. This is one of the many episodes showing the bravery of italian soldiers. Had we had 1/100 of your equipment history would have been different.

@CoolKidX85 All the nations had big casualties in WWI and it happens especially when you fight in mountains at -20 Celsius at 3000 m. WWI was an history of attack and counter attack and italians didn't make any exception. We were so demotivated that the supreme comand ordered the official to stop partecipating to the assaults considering the high mortality rate among the higher ranks. In Greece germans arrived when things were almost over...SuperMario is waiting for u...go!!!

@Caleidus Its hilarious how ignorant you are. The italians had HUGE and HUGE casualties on the World war 1 front, the soldiers were so de-motivated they surrendered in hundreds of thousands. Please, I beg you to look this up because its true. Your military commanders in WW1 were foolish! I also mentioned your HUMILATING defeat from Greece. Italy, a major power back than, was defeated by a little country like Greece? That's just humilating, I mean the Germans needed to help you ALL THE TIME.

@CoolKidX85 Wake up and go reading some history book. Italy won WWI against one of the most powerful empire in the planet fighting in the most appaling condition of all WWI since our battlefront was in mountains high 3000m and without the help of allies as brit and french were used to. We stood against 4/5 of the world in WWII for 4 years when u would have started crying after 4 minutes. U don't know anything about italian military history..keep on playing on your playstation

@Caleidus Italians are pathethic, let's face it you failed not only in WW1 but also in WW2. You italians can't fight for shit I mean seirously you got 1,5 million soldiers on one front in ww1 and you got beaten by maybe 40% of that number? Besides that nazi germany already ran your country both economically and military in 1941 already. Italy invaded Greece on its own for prestige, they FAILED horribly and hitler needed to help you "proud" italians. Your army is a joke so dont be proud of it.

I note the claimed comment by Winston Churchill speech to the Chamber, Nov. 21 1942:"We really must bow in front of the rest of those who have been the lions of the Folgore Division"
There was no sitting of the British Government on that day as shown by Hansard
A search of the Churchill Society website equally comes up blank for this quote
I'd be happy for people to make up their own minds as to the veracity of the quote.

@puju1234 1 in 5 Italians were armed. Learn your facts kid.

@puju1234 It's not only the amount of men that make the difference. Italians discovered they had no weapons capable of dealing with the slow moving but heavily armoured British Matilda ‘infantry’ tank. There was no lack of bravery on the part of the Italians. The British Royal Navy was also to participate in the operation by bombarding Sidi Barrani, italians didn't have navy support. Brits got fast moving jeeps with heavy guns on them, italians only feet.

@Caleidus In Operation compass there was 200 000 Italian soldiers vs 36 000 British soldiers. Operation Compass ended to succesful victory of UK, 115 000 Italian soldiers surrendered.

@Caleidus You've been defeated even by the Greeks. You are not in the position to say "if" or "maybe". Wooden spoon in WW2.
all what the fucking british and american idiots can was drop bombs over civilians!!!! British is after the air raid on Dresden and hamburg the last who can say " we have brave soldiers" BURN in hell , on your fucking island!
