World War II, which spanned Asia, Europe, Africa and North America, swept through the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, the largest world war in history, according to incomplete statistics, caused economic losses of more than 5 trillion US dollars, a total of more than 90 million military and civilian casualties. Such a number is painful for the people of any country and region.
However, if the fascist countries such as Germany and Japan in World War II brought us painful memories, then their ally, Italy, one of the three core countries of the Axis Powers, added a touch of comedy to this originally painful battle, and always felt that Hitler's most ruthless before committing suicide was not Britain or the Soviet Union, but his own "pig teammate".
Italy in World War II, it's hilarious, probably related to their leader Mussolini. After all, participating in World War II and joining the Axis powers to do things, mainly the idea of Prime Minister Mussolini and the small number of people who supported him, most of the Italians and Italian soldiers did not want to fight at all, so they would appear so negative in the battlefield, for them, it was better to fight than to make more plates of pasta at home.
Italians really have a fascination with pasta. On one occasion the Italian army was 10 kilometers away from the supply depot to prepare a sneak attack, only to wait, and they were hungry. Generally on the battlefield, when the soldiers are hungry, they endure, no matter how they have to complete the battle first, but the Italian army is not an ordinary soldier, they choose to cook pasta first.
When the British found them and attacked to prepare to take them prisoner, the Italian soldiers were still pleading that the pasta they had just cooked was ready, and whether they could let them finish eating the pasta and then take them away, the British army saw these big pots on the battlefield were stupid.
The most famous thing about the Italian army is probably the battle with the British army, which was just the beginning of the battle, and the Italian army was the first to surrender. As soon as the battlefield was set up, the British did not want to deal with the surrendered Italian army, and they did not have enough prisoner-of-war camps to hold this large number of Italian soldiers. Unexpectedly, after seeing that the British army was insufficient, Italy actually offered to ask that they come to help build a prisoner-of-war camp.
So a group of Italian troops followed the British back to the garrison, took the materials provided by the British army, and built a brand new prisoner of war camp with enthusiasm, and after it was built, they walked in and locked themselves up, which was simply breathtaking. This is not the end, because the Italian army's lack of morale is a matter that is understood throughout the European battlefield, so the guarding of the Italian prisoner of war camp is the most lax, but I did not expect that one day the Italian army held in a prisoner of war camp was all gone.
Before the guards could sweat, news came from another camp not far away that the Italian soldiers in the empty camp had all gone next door. Later, the commander asked the Italians why they were running away, and even if they ran, they just ran to the next door, and the Italian army replied with a straight face: "Because the prisoner of war camp next door provides macaroni, but we don't have it." The governor was dumbfounded when he heard it, and could only reluctantly promise to supply macaroni once a week in the future.
If these are considered wild histories, then the most intuitive evidence is probably that during World War II, the countries participating in the world were struggling to study new weapons and various high-tech technologies, except for Italy, in order to be able to eat fresher food, invented the freeze-dried preservation food method...
