  2. 100% agree. Facts and figures don't tell the whole story. Our job is to gather as much of the information as possible, then fill in the missing pieces and come to our own conclusions with what facts we have. This is why historians usually don't all agree on certain topics.

  4. Most sources on the North African Campaign (especially the early battles) barely even mention the Italians at all, other than to say they lost x amount of troops. The fighting in the historical narrative revolves around the British and the Germans. My impression is that most of the historians researching this topic are English or German speaking, and thus the Italian sources are not read and/or used. It's the same on the Eastern Front, where the Axis Allies (except the Finnish, who are deemed worthy) are neglected, or simply dismissed, even though they had important parts to play in the war.
