  1. Leadership only. They had brilliant designers and were among the leading technological powers. They lacked industrial capacity and resources. And poor PARTY leadership had made it an order of magnitude worse. But if we talk about officer core, it also wasn't as bad as people imagine. There were a lot of great commanders. Italy had gotten a reverse of Germany. Germans had a leader, who understood economics, but generals, who believed that USSR will collapse if they take Moscow. Italians had generals, who knew what to do, but a leader, who was borderline mad:(

  2. I still don't get why they were planning to capture Greece that had some sympathy to them in previous years instead of going straight for Yugoslavia with Hungary? Might have even proposed a piece to Greece! Poland gladly accepted a piece of Czechoslovakia with nonagression agreement... before making a surprised Pikachu face a year later:D And to top it off, weren't italians dissapointed in their claims of Anatolia being rejected? Hmm, whom else might have a grudge against Turkey and might want to join in on the fun, hmm? /cough/ just imagine proposing Constantinople to Greece, they'd eat out of your hand. /cough/

  3.  Legio XXI Rapax  "was caught" Was he? Because from the way you lean into some things it seems that you believe that germans had used italians as a distraction of sorts. To what end though?

  4. >Has better chance with Yugoslavia(with hungarian help) and far better dividends in case of success. >Is somehow adored in Greece, has claims on Yugoslavia and Turkey(Anatolia). Attacks Yugoslavia with hungarian help and promises Greece a piece of the cake as well as Constantinople in the long run? Nope, we're going into Greece, boys! ... ? ?! o_0 Why? Why?! WHY?! WHYYYY?!

  6.  Legio XXI Rapax  no, I mean you make it sound as if germans had made italians pay on purpose. As decoy for... well, I guess only North Africa was active at that moment. Battle of Britain was already lost after Germany overreacted about Berlin raid and lost any cohesive idea about what was the core goal of it:D

  7.  cristopher wong  Italy had several thousand tanks. By 1943. Without setting up proper tank industry that they had no time for. And they were better then light tanks of axis and allies that made up majority of tank forces until 1943 and no worse then most medium and cruiser tanks used during it.
