Rated 01 Dec 2010

in italian culture, italian soldiers at war are almost always portrayed as innocent bystanders, or at most as incompetent or reluctant accomplices of the germans while any horror took place. that is convenient but extremely far from the truth. especially when it comes to the occupation of the african colonies the italians were just as ruthless as the nazis, if not more. as cool as this movie is, it perpetuates this false narrative
