the italian ministry of defence is commemorating the north african campaign of ww2this is highly worrying
>>203766777>italians>fought
>>203766777What about it faggot?
>>203766797britain wouldn't have won shit without its pajeet slaves
>>203766777The chud government has sharted too much lately so they need to pander to the chuds for their votes
>>203766777>for our freedom
>>203766777The campaign they fumbled so hard the Germans had to come in and still lose it for them?Wait that just describes all Italian WW2 campaigns.
>>203766959funny that this narrative prevailed because WWII was essentially britain and france fucking up so embarrassingly bad that they needed america and their slaves to come to their rescue
>>203766959El Alamein was one of those battles that saw a relevant involvement of italian forces so we have to commemorate it one way or another, regardless of their performance
>>203767010Not as bad as putting all your chips on hitler and doing a 180 the second shit got real.
>>203767010Considering your soldiers fought better after switching sides I get the feeling that their heart wasn't in the whole fascism thing.
>>203767284man if only the king fired mussolini in 1939. Maybe things would have gone better without him YOLOing his country like a boomer
>>203767348Muh soldier valor is retarded as fuck in a modern war. You either have the required production output or your army won't perform
>>203766777Muh freedumzWtf ay lmao. Not even the Duce himself would've argued that he was fighting for freedom
>>203767348Yes. Mussolini never managed to control Italy's society like Hitler did in Germany.I suspected it's because of religion.>>203767424Truth nuke
>>203766777>NOOO YOU CAN'T DO THAT!! YOU MUST ONLY CELEBRATE THE DAY OF LIBERATION!! YOU CAN ONLY CELEBRATE WHEN THE ALLIES BOMBED OUR TOWNS TO SHREDS AND THE FRENCH SENT LITERAL RAPE SQUADS TO VIOLATE AND MASSACRE OUR WOMEN. THIS IS FASCISM!! W-WAIT WHAT IS THAT BETWEEN MY LEGS?? SHIT I JUST REMEMBERED I HAVE A PENIS AND WILL NEVER BE A WOMAN I NEED TO HANG MYSELF NOW-AAACK!
>>203767594/thread
>>203767594You know that italians actually won the war, right?
Ethiopia was never colonized thoughbeit
>>203767736We won but they (the chuds) lost (they still seethe about it every 25th April)
>>203767736lmao
>>203767736We didn't
>>203766777This >>203767594
>>203767461>Not even the Duce himself would've argued that he was fighting for freedomExcept he did, as he considered Italy a prisoner in their own sea (britain held both gibraltar and suez) and therefore italy could not be a sovereign country until it held at least one of these locations
>>203767594gemmissima
>>203767739True, their viceroy was an Italian man only because we were on excellent terms
>>203767594sono cresciuto come super compagno ma basatissimo
>>203767522This. Mussolini never had the same type of popular support as Hitler did. There was an opposition to Mussolini since day one, which only kept growing bigger.While in Germany Hitler won the election fair and square, and milliosn of Germans joined the NSDAP voluntarily, and there was only opposition later during ww2, with a couple of officers going rogue
>>203767522>>203768051Mussolini was removed by the Monarch, not by some popular insurrection
>>203768051They got comparable votes, the difference is Germans are autistic robot and once the government says they have to kill and exterminate they do it until they're killed or a new subroutine is forced upon them
>>203768051Mussolini was easily at his most popular when he declared warIt was the utter failure of the military campaign that turned the people on him, and even then >>203768132
>>203768132Something like the resistance never happened in Germany. They all quietly went along with the Götterdämmerung wanted by their schizo painter
>>203766881You surrendered en masse to us. (Mostly because they were under fed under equipped conscripts that didnt want to die)
>>203768226They same aristocrat higher ups types that got rid of mussolini were the german resistance that got closest to killing hitler
>>203768260>conscripts that didnt want to diethose damn cowards, why didn't they wanna die for some shit colonies and the German lebensraum
>>203768351I meant that as in i completely understand why they surrendered and it wasn't cowadice.
>>203768409I didn't >:(
>>203768328Germany never had partisan formations fighting against Nazis THOUGH
>>203768447They dealt with their communists better than you its true
>>203768500Partisans were from all the political spectrum thoughever
>>203768226the italian social republic was a german puppet state. german retaliations against civilians and their occupation of italian soil post-1943 probably gave italians a good reason to join the CLNAI. this is why there were monarchist and christian democrat partisans, not just commies. no comparable thing happened in germany. why would they resist their own people
>>203767594
>>203766777I see no problem with that, my grandfather was there too on the other side.
How many elderly people in Italy had positive views/encounters of the partisans? They probably considered them dicks just as much as they did the fascists.
>>203768624Germans are cattle, Italians got the memo when things started going full retard
>>203768624The war was already hugely unpopular in 1943. There is a reason the king could simply fire Mussolini
>>203768132>Mussolini was removed by the MonarchNot he was voted out by his fellow fascist leaders, then they wanted to put another fascist in his place, but the king instead fled south and put Badoglio in charge >>203768684mostly positive because Germans were assblasted by italian betrayal and went village by village searching for jews and partizans, making them hate the germans and the fascist helping them.
