lol. No love for Mussolini in my family.

Everybody that was of age fought for our side.

I love Sicily, and it Almost became a state.

But I’m American way first. I have a soft spot for the people there though :)

I asked this once before and forgot the answer. Did Italians ever fight Americans?

You know that's a good question and while I don't have any hard data one way or the other, my gut reaction was "no, they didn't actually fight U.S. troops", and if true I'd like to think they viewed themselves as having more in common with Americans than with Germans.

There were Italian units attached to Rommel's Afrika Korps at Kasserine Pass.
