Salvatore Pelosi - The Hero Who Defeated the British and Sank His Ship - podcast The story of the submarine Evangelista Torricelli and Commander Salvatore Pelosi is one of the most extraordinary episodes of Italian naval warfare in World War II. In June 1940, in the Red Sea, a single submarine of the Italian Royal Navy engaged three British destroyers and two gunboats, damaging and contributing to the sinking of the HMS Khartoum before scuttled itself to avoid falling into enemy hands. Commander Pelosi, wounded but determined to save the flag, ordered the ship abandoned and the compartments flooded. The crew was captured, and the British awarded Pelosi the honors of war, recognizing his exceptional courage. In this video, we reconstruct the battle of June 23, 1940, his imprisonment, the Gold Medal, and the legacy left by the hero who gave the postwar Italian Navy its identity. A tale of courage, discipline, and sacrifice that deserves to be remembered. 🎧 Listen to the full story in this episode of Stories of Heroes – Podcast 📚 Chapters: ✅ Scuttle the Ship: The Ultimate Order – 00:00 ✅ The Red Sea in 1940: The Massawa Flotilla – 00:21 ✅ The Torricelli Submarine and Its Suicidal Task – 00:42 ✅ Commander Salvatore Pelosi: The Man Destined for Legend – 01:09 ✅ Beginning of the Torricelli's First and Last Mission – 02:21 ✅ The Capture of the Twin and the Plans Revealed to the Enemy – 02:41 ✅ The Hunted and Wounded Torricelli – 03:24 ✅ The Dawn Ambush: The British Battle Squadron – 03:43 ✅ The Heroic Alternative: Fighting on the Surface – 4:47 AM ✅ The unequal and glorious battle – 5:09 AM ✅ The incredible lethal blow: the sinking of the HMS Khartoum – 5:49 AM ✅ Surrender or honor: Pelosi's most atrocious choice – 6:29 AM ✅ The execution of the last order: the self-scuttling – 7:12 AM ✅ The dignified demise of the submarine – 7:53 AM ✅ The admiration of the enemy and the honors of war – 8:13 AM ✅ The return and the Gold Medal for Military Valor – 8:55 AM ✅ The legacy of an immortal gesture: the new Pelosi submarine – 9:37 AM ✅ Conclusion – 10:19 AM #heroestories #ww2 #heroestoriespodcast #podcast #secondworldwar
