True story. When I was less then 10 years old I did asked my grandmother wich on her youth uset to live near the Albanian Greek border how where the soldiers in ww2. She told me a story with a wounded Greek soldier. He went outside her house and asked if her husband was inside. She said no. The soldier just stayed outside until late at night my grandfather arrived home and he entered inside. True gentleman. Italian she said the only thing thing they did was chasing women's. This is why they lost. Germans she said where extremely scary and disciplined. Killing machines.

the best ally to allied forces was Italy. Germany lost that war and Italy was one of the greatest reasons

musolini was shit so he thought let's invade an easy target to finally give something to Hitler.Greece at some point fought Italy,Germany and Bulgaria all at once.Most days of resistance by far from the other countries.Ofc marshall law was pennies later in comparison to the disaster we endured and Germany never paid war reparations
