Rommel was a “genius” thanks only to the Italians: “At that point, of course, the situation changed considerably and Rommel has gone down in history as one of the greatest military leaders of all time for his stunning victories over the British in north Africa.. What many fail to realize though is that the forces effectively under his command, which he used to win these masterful successes, were 2/3 Italian and the large majority of his armored forces were Italian tanks.” “The German soldier has impressed the world, however the Italian Bersagliere soldier has impressed the German soldier.” _Rommel And Italian intelligence and bravery: NOTE: This video has since been removed due to copyright infringement. It showed how Italian Intelligence Services penetrated British Intelligence and relayed British fighting positions to Rommel, hence why he seemed to know their every move.

Stop the/BS, read other comments, the French/British didn't "bail them out' but contribute about 8% in troops. It's always the same PROPAGANDA, not to give Italy it's due in the victory. Italy fought AH for 3 years, Germany, but a small contingent for one battle saved them. NONSENSE. @secretsfullofsaucers

The Austrians held the high ground, an incredible advantage, were aided by the Germans, used chemical weapons a specialty of Germanic's when they can't win on their own...you forgot that part. @secretsfullofsaucers

@Dilley_G45 N. Africa...Italy had been winning up until that so often exaggerated UK victory at Operation Compass. Do you know just 2 months before UK began receiving massive American aid because Churchill cried to FDR for help, they were on the brink of bankruptcy and defeat? That a good portion of those Italian troops were colonials who surrendered easily because Italian forces were down to fighting with home made petrol bombs vs UK tanks and void of munitions, food and water? That was the ONLY mass surrender by Italian troops up to then and happened only one other time in Russia along with Germans and other Axis.

@Dilley_G45 The nonsense of the Italian Navy being completely inept: “This revisionist history convincingly argues that the Regia Marina Italiana (the Royal Italian Navy) has been neglected and maligned in assessments of its contributions to the Axis effort in World War II. After all, Italy was the major Axis player in the Mediterranean, and it was the Italian navy and air force, with only sporadic help from their German ally, that stymied the British navy and air force for most of the thirty-nine months that Italy was a belligerent. It was the Royal Italian Navy that provided the many convoys that kept the Axis war effort in Africa alive by repeatedly braving attack by aircraft, submarine, and surface vessels. If doomed by its own technical weaknesses and Ultra (the top-secret British decoding device), the Italian navy still fought a tenacious and gallant war; and if it did not win that war, it avoided defeat for thirty-nine, long, frustrating months.”

@Dilley_G45 I do...like their backstabbing of their best ally...Pact of Steel...signed May '39 promising Italy 3 more years to prepare, never notifying Italy of their Polish invasion plans set for just 4 months later, dragging an unprepared Italy into WWII. Tell me 1 Pact the Germans honored, friend or foe. Not counting many their more betrayals during the war.

The backstabbers to Italy were the TeutonicTwotimers in BOTH WW's!! @stuka1746

And do you know who the majority of those battles were won by...Napoleon...an ITALIAN. @Sir_Charles007

Mr. Brit...without America, Commonwealths, India, and yes your French saving Britain's army at Dunkirk in WWII, Britain would have lost BOTH WW's! Just one example: Over 87,000 Indian troops, and 3 million civilians died in World War II.[2][3] Field Marshal Sir Claude Auchinleck, former Commander-in-Chief, India, stated that Britain "couldn't have come through both wars [World War I and II] if they hadn't had the Indian Army."[4][5] Another example in WWII, the Lend-Lease Act when Churchill cried to US for help because it was bankrupt and on the cusp of defeat which is the only reason Italy finally lost in N. Africa. @smal750

@ They received LOANS from Britain & France. France received economic help from Britain, US and others Britain borrowed heavily from US and in WW2 without US aid was bankrupt on the cusp of defeat as early as '40 Germany borrowed heavily...and so on. Have a point?

What are you talking about, in 200 years Italy has won 90% of it's wars vs many forces not only Ottoman's and Ethiopia, INCLUDING Greece which was a 90% Italian victory as Hitler admitted. Italy's WWII Empire alone was larger than Germany's. @l.or.e7621

The Italians made Rommel but NEVER given credit due to WASP propaganda. @norharafie5739

@Dilley_G45 And? You have a point?

@Dilley_G45 “On June 7, 1942, infantry of the Italian X Corps saved Rommel’s 15th Brigade near Gazala, in North Africa, from otherwise certain annihilation. These and numerous other disclosures combine to debunk lingering propaganda stereotypes of the inept, ineffectual Italian armed forces and their allegedly inept commanders and supreme leader. That dated portrayal is rendered obsolete by a true-to-life account of the men and weapons of Mussolini’s War: Volume 1—The Triumphant Years.”

@Dilley_G45 Honestly, are you the same guy under 30 different accounts? These are the EXACT same memes brought up in every video of Italy in WWII, EXACT same conversation I had on another video just a couple of days ago: 6 conquests, an Empire over 5xthe size of the Nazi's, Albania, Greece, Eritrea, Somalia, Libya, Ethiopia. Lost to Greece? Tell me when Italy signed the surrender treaty. Who occupied 2/3 of Greece and do you want Hitler's speech where he stated it was ITALY's victory?

@Dilley_G45 I have much more so if you want to continue I'll have an answer for all your "facts"

@Dilley_G45 What about Albania/Greece? Oh yeah, the infamous Greek pushing an overconfident, under prepared/supplied Italian forces back in the beginning stages? Their "victory?" lolol...Never knew an initial push back is considered "winning the war" East Africa? AFTER Britain and it's allies began receiving massive American aid they finally began their "winning." That's why every piece of British military equipment comes with a phone...so they can call America and their other allies to save them.😆 😆

@Dilley_G45 “The front stabilized in February 1941, by which time the Italians had reinforced the Albanian front to 28 divisions against the Greeks' 14 divisions (though Greek divisions were larger). In March, the Italians conducted the unsuccessful Spring Offensive . At this point, losses were mutually costly, but the Greeks had far less ability than the Italians to replenish their losses in both men and materiel, and they were dangerously low on ammunition and other supplies. They also lacked the ability to rotate out their men and equipment, unlike the Italians.” [4] Requests by the Greeks to the British for material aid only partly alleviated the situation, and by April 1941 the Greek Army only possessed 1 more month's worth of heavy artillery ammunition and was unable to properly equip and mobilize the bulk of its 200,000–300,000 strong reserves.

@Dilley_G45 Albania/Greece? Italy won...occupied 2/3 of Greece, Greece signed a surrender...what else you want to know? East Africa, what about it?

@danonycorp8998 It's stuff from all over the web, accounts on YT, etc., not just one accumulated over the years. I would give (link) them but YT deletes everything.
