Here thanks to yet one more Mark Felton You Tube video another example of Italian courage on the battlefield during World War Two. "Italian Armoured Death Ride - Sicily 1943".


Italian armor unit Battle of Sicily [WW2] attacking the allied [American] landing force Gela. Lightly armored and lightly gunned Italian army unit using captured French tanks R35/40 demonstrating admirable and unmistakable elan'. Attack not succeeding but the effort had TRY!

American ranger units Gela as attacked actually in a degree of peril. A concerted effort by the Italian armor and the allied landing-force might have been in great danger. Troops of lesser quality than the rangers might have panicked with tank-fright the consequences for the invasion force dire.

ITALIANS AS WITH OTHER MILITARY COMBATANTS LEADERSHIP  THE KEY TO SUCCESS.
