Gee, I wonder how that happened

And I'm sure that pilot had a sad toast of fine Italian white wine with Don Abruzzo a few days later when he had to return to his cold, rainy island and Abruzzo had to stay on his.

It didn't happen

Either story is fake or the island surrendered because they didn't like the regime.

Bullshit.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lampedusa

>In June 1943, during the Second World War, as a precursor to the Allied invasion of Sicily, the island was secured without resistance in Operation Corkscrew by the Royal Navy destroyer HMS Lookout and ninety-five men of the 2nd Battalion the Coldstream Guards. White flags had been sighted in the port, and when Lieutenant Corbett of Lookout approached the port in a motor launch, he was told that the island's garrison wished to surrender.[10] Mussolini had given the garrison his permission to surrender because it lacked any water. The Governor's formal surrender was accepted in the island's underground command-post by a combined Army/Navy delegation sometime before 9:00 pm on 12 June 1943. During this process, the governor handed his sword to the Coldstream company commander, Major Bill Harris.[11]

how dare you suggest that the UK isn't numbah 1?

Lampedusa first surrendered to a Brit, now it surrendered to boat immigrants. Sad!

Why did France get the reputation as world surrender monkeys when that title truly belongs to Italians

Why is it so difficult to hate this guy.

>>2439459
Because we look at a small pool of his actions to form an opinion.

>>2439442
Because people actually expected something from the French due to their successful military history
That's why the shock was great when they lost in a month
