  1. Regarding Regia Marina. They called air support. Their own bombers attacked them MORE then the British. Fortunately their attacks were crap. Total luck of any competence.

  2. Well, Italians were so bad, that one of their armored divisions got out maneuvered and defeated by... Greek infantry division. Italians were soooooo bad, that Greeks refused to surrender to the, but instead surrendered to the Germans. Sure, there are LOTS of excuse made for Italians, as many or more then for the French. What this video is missing is the fact that Italians performed poorly even when - as stated above, they had better materials, more manpower etc. I.e. their tank division lost to... infantry. You can criticize Italian tanks etc. But the enemy was poorly armed and not that well trained infantry.
