An Italian General bought 140, 000 Italian, German, Hungarian and Romanian soldiers 120 miles safely from the encirclement!

It's the Eastern Front, it's hell on Earth.

The Italian 8th Army (Armata Italiana in Russia) went on to fight in the Battle of Nikolayevka, in 1943.

Casualties in Operation Uranus were mostly Rumanians and Hungarians.

Italy's losses during the whole Italian Campaingn in the Soviet Union - from 1941 to 1943 - were less than 100, 000, including KIA, wounded, captured and MIA.

And this massacre only happens because the Germans took all trucks and vehicles from the Italian 8th army to run away to Rostock at the Don!! And the Italian Army tried to walk back to Italy 🇮🇹 😂

[Pito]

There nearly less than 100 italians in Stalingrad..maybe you meant the Don front.

[federicomorosi]

This is false. Italian soldiers on the eastern front eventually fought also in the battle on the Don river in which the red army tried to encircle them, but failed, though inflicting heavy losses. According to Soviet sources, italian mountain troops are the only troops unbeated on russian soil.

Could you share the historical sources? I never heard about this battle.

[radomirratkovic]

Royal Italian Army bravely fought against Bolshevism on the eastern front ...They were overpowered by the skill and number but their bravery was noted by the historians

[lindawahren]

Yeah Soviet soldiers wearing a Stahlhelm and Gewehr 43...made in 1943 but somehow was used before its' existence

[handelknob]

This definitely come out of Uranus, because it's...

[ronwallace]

[littlebritain]

German helmets on italian royal army soldiers?
Maybe on italian SS volunteers but not on the ones showed here...

[Jack-me]

Can you atleast give the source so we can do further research of fact check? Or use more stock images

[johnhallett]

The Russian Front was two rabid animals tearing at each other

[phaking]

So much for the Italian used rifles only dropped once! I'm a Italian/Mexican American USA Marine surrender is not an option

[siyar-mcxz]

Never heard such a bs story in my life😂 You think that tanks engaged in melee combat? Because that would be the only explanation for the red colour😂

[Ryan-gfir]

Why would the Italians get involved anyway?

[victorotvertchenko]

Italian troops around 200 000 participated in battle of Stalingrad and suffered huge losses. Alomst all invading troops were killed or captured. That is well known fact. I doubt though about circumstances, described in this video. In general Italian and Romanian troops were well known to be much inferior to Germans both by equipment and soldiers' training and morale. In fact, environment of German 6th army happened because Soviet troops easily defeated Romanians to the north of Stalingrad.

This should be a signal to the right wing fascist govt today in power not go against Russia before and today !!!
