Thank God Italy was in the Axis. The Axis might have won if Italy wasn’t in it.
Because the Italians were routed in the Balkans, the Germans had to delay Operation Barbarossa by six weeks. That made all the difference because they couldn’t get to Moscow before the winter.
Greece's small but effective Army and Italian incompetence saved Europe from Nazism. The cold war would have been against the Reich instead of the USSR. Not much difference really.
I had an identity crisis all my life, Half Germanic and half Italian. I would start a fight and then I would surrender quickly.
