Marocchinate: The Darkest Event of WWII *WARNING Mature Audiences Only (Or The Greatest Atrocity of WW2 You Never Heard About.) Video—20 min
YouTube ^ | 8/6/2024 | A Day In History

Posted on 08/09/2024 5:35:10 AM PDT by Phoenix8

Today, we are going to tell you about a horrific event – the "Marocchinate" - or "The deeds of the Moroccans." Those "deeds" were r@pe and murder on a mass scale – mostly r@pe What might be even more shocking for people is that the Moroccans were part of the Allied armies moving up the Italian Peninsula in 1944.

Background

In the spring of 1944, hundreds of thousands of Allied soldiers were slowly advancing up the Italian peninsula toward Rome. In September 1943, the Allies crossed the Straits of Messina from recently conquered Sicily to mainland Italy. In the far south of the country, it was mostly British and British Imperial troops doing the fighting. To the north, mainly American forces landed at Salerno, some 140 miles south of Rome. The intention was to catch German troops in a trap from north and south, forcing their surrender. Another aspect of the plan was to capture Rome, one of the capital cities of the "Rome-Berlin-Tokyo Axis," an enemy the Allies had been fighting since 1939.

Shortly after the Allied landings in their country, the king and the politicians around him made secret overtures to the Allies. They would overthrow and detain Mussolini and make peace in the hope of sparing their country the destruction they knew would come. That's exactly what happened. Mussolini was taken to a deserted hotel in the mountains, and King Victor Emanuel III and his closest adviser, Marshal Pietro Badoglio, formed a new government….

1000s (entire regions) of Italian civilians were raped, murdered and abused by Allied Troops AFTER they surrendered in Italy in 1944.

Not surprisingly the great majority of pillaging troops were Islamic Berbers. what is surprising to me is they were mostly led by European French officers.

I’ve read a lot about WW2 and this was new to me (ohh sure I’ve read of so called “isolated” cases of rapes..but never the whole story) just proving the old adage “The Victor Writes the History Books” is true.

I’ve read about this but can’t remember which book, they were savages among a defenseless white population that was a rich playground for their savagery, they indulged themselves.

Sophia Loren starred as the mother in a movie called The Women or Two Women about a woman and her young daughter being raped by Turks or these guys in Italy during the end of WWII...

Both sides committed atrocities. And that didn’t includes us soldiers. War as hell. That is why “it is a thing to be avoided” — James Kirk.

Yep. American troops weren’t always on their best behavior in France either.

When you are in a war setting, killing other people, and surviving your friends getting killed, it creates an odd perspective on life. War is hell.

Isn’t that type of behavior allowed if not encouraged by Islam, the religion of peace?

There were plenty of rapes in Germany too....by the Brits, Americans and most especially by the French.

They’re there if you look at the medical records and all the German women applying to doctors for abortions due to rape. They’re just not there in the military records of any of the 3 Allied Occupying powers.

Since the fall of Communism, the West has finally gotten around to admitting the Red Army was an army of rapists and that they committed rape (not just of Germans but every single nationality in Eastern Europe they came across) by the millions.

I haven’t read the Koran but I’ve heard it allows “infidels” in war to be enslaved, raped etc.

The book of the Mohammeden Death Cult is a brutal read and makes atrocities not an exception and a crime that a civilized army fights to limit and restrain but instead makes it a part of the expression of their cult faith and pleasing to their cult’s form of deity and founder.

Uh, I dont think I read iof Italian troops raping women. This is about mass rape, PARTICULARLY by Islamic savages against European women. And not prevented by their European officers. The point is the Islamic use of rape as a weapon of war, which goes back to the start of their ideology and continues today.

Emmett Till’s G.I. father raped and murdered an Italian female along with them. He was hung for it. Few know about it.

Once again, that “Oldie-from-the-sands”, that wowwing-the-world religion of peace and love, comes straight from the history books, “mo-gonna-rocka-muh-bambino!”

Reading the Quran is easy, it is a choppy little book that reads like something a cult put together, it isn’t a complicated, thought provoking deep read like the Bible is, it is also short.

Committing atrocities against the conquered has a long history. Alexander and Caesar butchered the defeated, sold the remainder into slavery. Vikings, of course, sacked monasteries and churches, took large numbers of slaves. That’s how wars were fought back in the day, for fun and profit.

The Torah itself has people killing the conquered and taking captives as slaves. The rabbinate, and Christian clergy, has moved away from that by saying that those were times in which God spoke directly to the people involved in indubitable ways, so gave them a pass, while proscribing such acts for current day fighting men. Islam has, unfortunately, been less prone to reform.

Still, the actions of Muslim soldiers on the Allied side were a minor blemish, atrocity-wise, relative to what Axis troops did. In Ethiopia, Italians gassed the locals, butchered hundreds of thousands of civilians. More relevant, Italians murdered tens of thousands of Arabs during their North African campaigns. It’s likely the Arabs were just getting a little payback.


https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italian_war_crimes#Pacification_of_Libya
[In 1923, Benito Mussolini embarked upon a pacification of Libya campaign to consolidate control over the Italian territory of Libya and Italian forces began to occupy large areas of Libya in order to allow Italian colonists to rapidly settle in it. They were met with resistance by the Senussi who were led by Omar Mukhtar. Civilians suspected of collaboration with the Senussi were executed. Refugees from the fighting were subject to bombing and strafing by Italian aircraft. In 1930, in northern Cyrenaica, 20,000 Bedouins were relocated and their land was given to Italian settlers. The Bedouins were forced to march across the desert into concentration camps. Starvation and other poor conditions in the camps were rampant and the internees were used for forced labour, ultimately leading to the death of nearly 4,000 internees by the time they were closed in September 1933.[1] Over 80,000 Cyrenaicans died during the Pacification in all.]

History is written by both winners and losers for their respective societies. The principal instance where history is written by the winners is when the losers’ territory is incorporated into the winners’ realm. As long as winners and losers remain separate countries, both will have distinct and possibly diametrically-opposed accounts of the same events.

Secondarily, history is written by the literate. The Danish, Frisian and Norse warriors who raided the English kingdoms near the turn of the first millennium lacked a written language. The raids they mounted are thus typically narrated from an English standpoint, since the English were literate.

In the Orient, the various nomadic tribes that surrounded the Chinese state at various stages in its existence were usually illiterate. As such, historical accounts of their deeds, and the normative judgments rendered, are heavily slanted towards the Chinese point of view, as a result of Chinese authorship.
