War is cruel, but there have been special situations on the battlefield, take the Italian army, the strength of the Italian army is not low, they just do not want to fight, so they may surrender anytime and anywhere, in the North African battlefield of World War II, the Italian army surrendered to the British army because there was no crowbar to open the ammunition box, did not think that the British army did not agree, and the result was that the Italian army surrendered again after defeating the British army.
Defeating the enemy can prove their strength, which is understandable, but there is a saying that "the thief captures the king first", a general can play an important role in the army, the soldiers can not be separated from the command of the forward onslaught and retreat, but in World War II, there were four generals with bad luck: they dodged the enemy's artillery fire, but they did not expect to be killed by their own people.
One: Itano Balbo, the "father of the Italian Air Force"
Itano Balbo was already appreciated by Mussolini in world war I, and was promoted by Mussolini to become minister of aviation, but before that he knew nothing about flying, and because of this, Itano Balbo wrote a legend in the history of the Italian Air Force, he set the world record for the fastest flight, and built the Italian Air Force into an elite unit, mussolini's designated successor.
In the 1930s, Italian Air Marshal Itano Balbo single-handedly dropped bombs from the air, killing thousands of Ethiopians, but in June 1940, Itano Balbo returned from a tour and was shot down by anti-aircraft guns from Italy's own naval warships and killed on the spot.
Second: the Soviet "lightning general" Nikolai Fyodolovich Vatutin
Vatutin served as commander of the 1st Ukrainian Front of the Soviet Union, and although he lost battles, he was always a great success, but his life ended in 1944, and he did not die in battle, although his death also increased his reputation.
At the end of February 1944, Vatutin went to his subordinate army group to check the preparations for the Battle of Rivnow-Lutsk, but Vatutin encountered a group of disorderly people in a small village, and there was a scattered gunshot, so Vatutin got out of the car to teach them a few words, only to be shot by Ukrainian nationalist forces and eventually died of excessive blood loss.
Third: Brigadier General Charles Killans of the U.S. 82nd Airborne Division
The U.S. 82nd Airborne Division was the only fully formed division in the U.S. Army that could enter the combat area through parachutes, and on July 11, 1943, the U.S. Army launched a paratrooper airborne operation code-named "Husky" to cooperate with the Allied ground operations in Sicily, with the U.S. 505 Parachute Regiment as the vanguard, and Charles Kierans with the 504 Parachute Regiment.
However, after a period of time, it caused Charles Kierans to lead the army to land, but was fiercely shelled by his own side, according to the statistics of the incident, the accidental injury caused 33 transport aircraft damage, 318 deaths, including Charles Kierans.
Fourth: U.S. Army General Leslie James McNair
Leslie James McNal graduated from the United States Military Academy at West Point, fought in several battles, and escaped death several times, but in July 1944, Leslie James McNal was killed by a bomb of the U.S. Eighth Air Group during Operation Cobra, becoming the highest-ranking U.S. officer to die in World War II.
