Am I the only one who first watches WW2 and then watch The Cold War? This is my fav release day of the week on YT.

[DmitriPolkovnik]

Post-war Italy. The madmen finally did it.

The map at 4:58 mins is wrong, it clearly shows three towns close to Naples in the southern Italian region of Campania as opposed to Modena, Parma and Reggio Emilia which are towns in northern Italy in the notoriously leftist region of Emilia-Romagna.

Italy is definitely one of the most interesting post-war stories to cover!

[zacharymeinholz]

I would love to hear more about Italy in the Cold War

[edoardogiardina]

The Strategy of tension occured in Italy from the late 60s to the early 80s would be a great topic to cover for this channel

[luigibellini]

When you'll make more video about Italy, remember to talk about the neo-fascist paramilitaries, "the Brigate Rosse", the Massonic p2, the gladio operation, the mafia, and the less known "Anello" (Ring) an organization made of ex italian social republic officers.

Hello! I am from India. I hope one day you make episodes about the following Cold War topics related to India:
1) The unique "Non-Aligned Movement" of which India was a founding member
2) The 1971 Bangladesh's War of Independence in which US and USSR attempted to take sides, along with Pakistan and India as the respective proxies.

Anyone else notice Bella Ciao in the background

[walidhousni]

UN: So...in the war you were with the allies, the axis, or the Soviets?

Italians: YES

[ftdefiance]

I would like further information on Italy

[rogergarcia]

Min 4:58 the map should be one of the Emilia-Romagna in tjhe North. You have put one of the Campania Region. Double check that map!

[EmmeandEffe]

Except a wrong map approx at min 5:00, great episode. Please post more video on post-war Italy

[prashanttiwari]

Great Episode David. Loved it. Also loved the subtle bella ciao music in the background.
Keep up the good work. And hell yes. We need coup episodes please :)

[chaoslord]

hopefully they cover the "years of lead" in this series

[DrakhAutokrator]

Yes, make more, please. Operation Gladio, the Red Brigades or the Years of Lead as a whole.

[raflyraihandy]

This is a very interesting topic, hope to see more after this video!

[dkwlin]

Post war Italy❤️🇮🇹
Germany, Japan and Italy have become the US great allies from Foes In WW2.
Italy also made a post-was economic miracle in 1960.
I recommend that The Cold War can make a video about Post-War Greece and military coup in 1967.

[Jokkkkke]

More Italy please! Their political-economic developments with the years of lead and that would be a very interesting listen I think

[Zaeyrus]

Love the 'Bella Ciao' in the background! :)
