Utterly bizarre. 17 attempts on the same Hill 731 and still the Greeks held it. Creativity was clearly lacking amongst the Italian commanders!

Italians were a complete disaster in WWII ... even worse than the Romanians. If anything, they partially caused the Axis to lose the war at Stalingrad

Both Germans and Japanese, had excellent war machine, capable generals and brave soldiers, but we're outdone due to lesser Industrial output and Inadequate Natural Resources compared to that of US and USSR..
