Long time no see dear Eighty great to see the new additions

I would remind that Mussolini, notwithstanding we were far from ready for a war, saw a big and easy opportunity (contrary to Ciano's and many others opinion), dear mate, and he was the boss then.
I would remind You also that we were the other side than Germany in WWI and we certainly weren't treated too fairly before and afterwards that war with reference to our colonies and our territories to be given back after that war, where we defeated the last Austrian Empire.
Furtherly in WWII it looks like that France too changed their mind, once they were under German's boots.
As a matter of fact they formed the Vichy Republic and the Jewish in France had to rely on the Italian controlled part to escape from lagers (the same in Greece, Croatia etc.) notwithstanding we were under Fascism. Moreover Soviet Union too swapped its side once attacked.
Anyway, since a French general called Charles De Gaulle, was a great radio speaker, it ended that France (as well as Stalin) eventually sat among the winners and in UN with a veto power (but it was us who gave back Corse to France by sending German soldiers away from there after the armistice, without killing them as they cowardly did with ours in Cefalonia).
The position of UK as an island with an Empire, with by far the most powerful Navy in Europe and a strong US backing since the start, was certainly a more comfortable position to oppose Hitler will and the German power, my dear. Finally You didn't have to make ruinous and glorious fights and retreats without a vaguely adequate warfare, as we had to in Etiopia where we surrendered with military honors (You experienced a similar defeat in Asia against Japanes), in Russia (we charged and broke the encirclement with our alpine troops and came back with few survivers), in El Alamein, men agains tanks, on Malta's skies and in Alexandria harbour.
We also got our good towns and villages bombing share, our soldiers taken and killed in lagers, as well as nazi collective murders of civilians and we had our left troops and partisans fighting Germans.
So I think we fairly paid for a wrong choice, more than others did for their responsibilities, by humiliating Germany first and then leaving Hitler undisturbed up to when it was too late.
I guess that, out of folklore and the then war propaganda, You may have know of all this ...

So You were drawing on the bus again!

Well, it took a few years for Europe to sort the WWII out, dear mate, and we should hopefully remeber as much as we can now and quite honestly to avoid forever similar horrors and so much stupidity and short-sightedness.
Good You had not to learn the word lager in UK, as Nazis called their "working" camps or prisons where mainly jewish people from all over Europe and gipsies, but also Pole soldiers and eventually, after the Armistice, the Italian ones too, were kept in painful conditions, mostly up to their premature death and with little or no consideration for Geneva Convention. But they were not the only prisons our soldiers had the pleasure to stay in and sometimes not in a too much better situation. Also in Africa and even in U.S. they found "hospitality and work" for quite some time, but usually they left these latter alive at least.
I guess British soldiers too had quite a painful stay in Japanese prisoners camps, so You know now what I mean by lager and can share the sorrow for such criminal treatments.
