Famous Quotes

“There has been far too much denigration of the performance of Italy’s forces during the conflict. It was the Germans who insisted on the substitution of their enigma encoding machines that the British were reading for Italian ciphers that had not been cracked. As Dr James Sadkovich has shown, the performance of the Italian navy and army was not as poor as much of the contemporary joking and subsequent writings suggest” (Dr. Gerhard Weinberg).

“Gentlemen, you have fought like lions and been led by donkeys,” said Rommel to captured British officers during the siege of Tobruk as quoted in The Guinness History of the British Army (1993) by John Pimlott.
