PIPPO。 During World War II, the northern Italian army was sandwiched between the retreating German front and the invading Allied forces for twenty months. An unidentified plane nicknamed Pippo has countless stories circulating among civilians.
Many claimed to have heard the sound of the UFO, later, although it was given a non-threatening nickname. Attitudes toward the identity of the mysterious plane depend on who is telling the story.
For those who opposed Nazi Germany, the Pippo was a friendly Allied aircraft that carried out reconnaissance missions. Still others believe that Italy betrayed its German allies, for them.
Pippo, who was owned by the Luftwaffe, would drop bombs in the area. In fact, everyone's position is not important, because all the stories about Pippo anthropomorphize the plane and the pilot as a whole.
The origin of Pippo is still unknown. It always flew alone at night, citizens had to turn off the lights so as not to attract the attention of UFOs, and when it approached, most residents were terrified inside.
According to legend, Pippo threw bombs several times, bombed houses, and hit anything on the way through villages, towns, or cities. In addition, mystery planes often open fire on farm workers in the fields.
However, despite the hundreds of legends, there is no evidence that Pippo is a particular real thing. In the history of World War II, many suspect that the Italian government used Pippo as a propaganda tool to make ordinary civilians hate and rebel against their allies.
Historians believe that the story of the World War II Pippo aircraft originated from the night fighters who fought in Italian airspace at that time.
