11:50 Foreigner divisions helping italian ones were 5% of combatant personnel in Piave battle. Difficult to say they "saved" Italians.

Thank you for posting! My great grandfather fought for Italy and was captured at the Trentino Offensive. Spent 2 years in a POW camp… I wish I knew which battle specifically

There is an error on the map at the end of the video: we do not see the Italians advancing to Trento, from November 2. (besides it seems to me that Arsiero has always remained in the hands of the Italians)

my grandfather was in this war. he was a kolonel. do you know were i can find more about in wich devision he was?

These were not Austrian areas but rather Austrian occupied areas. But it's good that the in the video was stated that the Austrians attacked first. But it was still missing to mention that the Germans also attacked first. Because the Austrians and the Germans actually started this war.

11:41 that is “La disfatta di Caporetto”

[Divano-qwsb]

The video itself is not bad but it has some errors, for example at 12:38 is said that the austrians advanced but then decided to retreat, in reality that was the solstice offensive an austrian offensive aimed to support the german spring offensive on the western front that failed due to the italian defense in depth (that is why you see the austrians advancing on the map), all the austrian gains were reversed by a well coordinated italian counter attack not by the decision by the austrian command to retreat its troops from the recently conquered ground.

Also at 11:50 is said that only franco brithis divisions could save the situation for the italians but this is simply not true, the front stabilized before the arrival of foreign divisions due to a series of factors like the presence of a river to use as a defensive line (Piave river), austro-german supply lines streched thin, austro-german troops being tired, the italian scorched earth in the abbandoned regions that made impossible for the austro-germans to live off the land and forced them to get supplies all the way from austro-hungarian territory and on top of that a higher morale among the italian troops who now were fighting to defend their homeland not to invade foreign territories.

Overall the video is quite historically accurate but has the tendency to downplay italian achievments and give credit for them to someone else. Judging from how the names of the towns are written the autor is probably a Slovenian and so is a bit biased torwards the austro-hungarian empire. Again the video is not austrian propaganda and remains pretty much accurate but i still wanted to point out this.

An Italian guy tried to make it sound like they ended up taking back their territory through winning - not Hungarians abandoning the front line and an Austro-German withdrawal.

11:23 in the italian version there was not the help of france or england

[RenXiS]

So let me get this straight…. They 🇮🇹 ~3x the number of soldiers, but were pushed back to Piave river 😅 That is one of the biggest military blunders of all time 🕰️

The capital of Russian Empire was St. Petersburg, not Moscow
