  My uncle served in North Africa with the British 8th Army.  He told me the Italian anti-tank gunners were some of the best.

  The worst enemy for the italian soldier is not the target he’s shooting at in front if him, but the officer that stands behind him.

  My father fought against the Italians in Libya &nbsp;and Egypt as a battery Sargent major, he got annoyed when people accused &nbsp;the Italians of cowardice &nbsp;he said they were very brave and some of their units were outstanding soldiers.

  As an Italian, I want to say only a thing: two of my ancestors went to fight in Russia during WW2, one came back to Sicily mostly on foot, and the other went to Norway with the intention to sail back home, but instead started a family there. Just saying. By the way, great video.<br><br>Edit: I&apos;m really happy to see so many italians and foreigners sharing their family&apos;s stories about the second world war. Our elders went through too much, and probably fought against each other... War is always terrible. Thank you all for sharing
