Cause they called it so. I don't remember which was the first occasion in which some spoke of the alliance between Italy and Germany as "an axis from Rome to Berlin" but this is the origin...

well, Sid, Enrico will sure tell it better in deep but I think that no one had a clear idea about what was more correct to do (in particular a lot of people thought that fleet had not to be given to allies) so there was a costant change of decision. IIRC italian flees zig-zaged for west Med for almo...

on the web: http://www.comandosupremo.com http://www.regiamarina.net http://www.regiamarina.it all are or have pages in english (two necessary notes: -Borghese was not the founder of Xth, he assumed command of the unit in 1942 -before italian armistice of 1943 Decima was only a special naval assault...

Hi all I'm trying to estimate the role of resistance movemnt in western europe Have you any idea about: -how many partisans operated in occupied europe -how many german troops had been employed against partisans -how many german/axis soldiers and how many partisans died in guerrilia -Which had been ...

any german move in Balkans would have 100% provoked an italian reaction, overall, Italy had never left germans arriving on adriatic coast or on Isonzo border. This was against all possible italian strategies. the italo-german competition for Balkan control is one of the most important keys to unders...

(sorry guys, I'm definitively on the red side....)

I've always loved an italo-british movie of 1961 (IIRC) "The best of enemies" of G. Hamilton starring D. Niven and A. Sordi on 1941 ethioipian campaign.....exilarant every time I see it! The scene of italians escaping by besieged fort is at the top

BTW, is it possible try to understand why italian and english sources are completely different about the role of italians in the battle?

remember the gas mask and try to seem a CNN journalist......Ah, moustaches could be useful!

Enrico, on which issue has your article appeared? Ah, a note for Paco....."Enemy as Evil" is a common feature of all conflicts but keeping a line open for contact between opposite sides of the hill is a common practice of wise diplomacy. In 800 years of conflicts, Brits had employed all th...

In my personal opinion, I've always thought the story of those "letters" had always been overstressed...I'd prefer to keep them in a "limbo" until we can have some more affordable source. Anyway, to do a bit a hypothesis, what could have been written in those mails? What do you m...

Italy declared war to USSR June 22nd, 1941 but first italian unit reached eastern front only at the end of July 1941...

about Mr. Berlusclown, two things are to be said:

1) If he wants to go to war, he speaks essentially for himself. A good 60-70% of italians thinks having no connection with this war

2) His attention is actually taken by his own trial at Milan and his private war against italian justice

I don't remember particulars, but I believe some time ago the wreck of italian sub "Scirè" had been violated and damaged in some way by Israelian Navy off Haifa and Italian Navy has sent a ship to close approach to the sub......
