Why did the Italians appear on the front? What did their combat trail look like in 1941? And what was their attitude towards the local civilian population? What did the Italians' participation in the fighting look like at the turn of '42 and '43? Does the myth of cowardly pasta-lovers withstand a meeting with reality? What was the fate of Mussolini's soldiers after their participation in the fighting ended? And is there a Stalingrad in the title? You will hear about it in this episode. ????
