Rome Has Fallen: Italy's Calamitous Campaign In WW2 | World War II in Colour | War Stories

Benito Mussolini led Italy to war in 1940, in part to build an Italian Empire and in part to side with his ally Adolf Hitler. What would follow would be a disastrous campaign on all fronts, marked by heavy losses and easy defeats despite having superior numbers. How did these bold ambitions translate into being nothing but a burden on the Nazi war machine? War Stories is your one stop shop for all things military history.
