""""""" I heard that Rommel himself said his best soldiers were the Italians"""""""""
where ? please tell us where you have heard or read about ?
sound interesting.
but very easy to write something without prove.
i have read some books about the war in northafrica, for example volkmar kühns book " mit rommel in der wüste" , or in adrians gilberts book "blitzkrieg" .
but to being honest, i never have read that rommel said, the italians were his best soldiers.
the best in was ?
look back to the early days of the north african campaigne.
the italians heavily outnumbered the brits, but the brit have beat them without problems
but i am open for a discussion
