On the African Front, the Italian army acted like they were on a field trip, frolicking and making merry. When they marched, their noisy revelry very much bothered the Germans.

The Italian Armoured Division was called “the Armoured Division,” but for the most part it was made up of a bunch of plain old guys wearing shorts.
To understand how amazing the Armoured Division was, please take a look at footage from that period.
It’s a bunch of older men just trudging along…
