After the end of the First World War, the fascist forces continued to expand, the contradictions between imperialism continued to intensify, a serious economic crisis broke out in the capitalist countries, and under the accumulation of various contradictions, the Second World War broke out. The Polish Blitzkrieg, the Battle of France, the Attack on Pearl Harbor, the Battle of Britain, the Battle of Moscow, the Battle of Midway, the Battle of Stalingrad, the Battle of Guadalcanal, the Normandy Landings, and the Battle of Berlin were the ten classic battles of World War II, and a series of new tactics showed great power and improved the military combat level of most countries. However, the more fierce the war, the more casualties means that the more deaths and injuries, at the end of World War II, there were nearly 70 million deaths, about 130 million people were injured, and a large number of people were missing.
World War II was depressing, but there were many ironic things that happened during World War II, and most of these things were taken care of by Italian soldiers who did not want to fight. Italian soldiers once stored more than 100 tons of explosives in the church, and as a result, the spire of the church was struck by lightning, and a large explosion occurred in an instant, destroying one-fifth of the city. More than 100 tons of explosives, originally enough for Italian soldiers to fight for a few days, did not expect that the scene in front of them directly made the Italian soldiers dumbfounded. Sometimes it is not that the Italian soldiers are reluctant to fight, but that the conditions do not allow it.
In addition, on the North African battlefield, the British army faced with a strong Italian soldier, has been ready to resist to the death, did not expect the Italian soldiers to surrender first, the reason is that there is no crowbar, can not open the ammunition box. The Italian soldiers did not want to fight, and when they met the British, they fulfilled their wishes, so they surrendered decisively. When the British captured the ammunition of the Italian soldiers, they found that there was far more red wine than ammunition, and the Italian soldiers' behavior was really laughable. Other countries on the battlefield were eager to fill their bodies with ammunition, the Italian soldiers poured well, the ammunition was outside the body, and red wine was their life. We all know that Italian soldiers surrender without saying a word, to what extent is this exaggerated?
The Sicily landings were one of the largest landings of World War II, code-named "Husky", which mainly attacked the Italian army on the island. There were about 365,000 Italian soldiers on the island, 40,000 German troops, and the Italian army was the main force, which made the American army breathe a sigh of relief. The U.S. military dispatched more than 4,000 aircraft, 3,200 ships and ships, a total of 478,000 troops, although the Italian army also counterattacked, but ultimately defeated the heavy bombardment of the American army. At that time, the U.S. military dropped "shell leaflets", calling these leaflets "surrender certificates", with which they could save their lives and even go to the rear of the Allied forces to receive food.
Italian soldiers heard about it and took leaflets to surrender, and some soldiers wanted to surrender without leaflets, so they asked their comrades to ask the American troops for a few more "surrender certificates", which was really laughable.
