Why does in every film about WWII Italians are portrayed like good people who were forced into this war and they just wanna go back to Italy to see their mama while Germans are portrayed as evil sadist people who want to see everyone suffer?

because that's a very accurate description

just like real life, then?
>>
>>76035212
It isn't though.

>>76035135
It's because no one put them to task. Germany was reprimanded and berated but Italy got nothing.
>>
>>76035654
>It isn't though.
Germany raped, killed and enslaved millions

Italy barely did any horrible warcrimes (relatively speaking).
>>
people mistaken their incompetency for mercy
>>
because spaghetti is good and probably because mussolini got rekt by his own cunt or something
>>
>>76035135
Because you have to keep up that germanophobia somehow.
It's easier to make your people hate your enemy and make sure that no one shows sympathy for them if they are dehumanized. Also something something jews but that's kinda ridiculous imo.
Italians aren't a really serious threat at this point so they get off the ride easy.
>>
>>76035808
jews are cotrolling everything now because of germany
>>
>>76035712
Italy did a lot of fucked up shit. Germany and japan being front abd center dies no excuse Italy at all whatsoever.
>>
>>76035712
Greece was all them. Africa was mostly them. Germany just bailed their shit out when they proved incompetent.

Mussolini marched on rome and siezed power. Neither my nonno or nonna wanted the war but they sure fucking got one. My nonnos brother died in greece and his best friend died in his arms. Italians wanted nothing to do with the war in northern europe or a war with the amerifats.

Yet they still waged war and aggressive expansions+purges/killings.

Italy here

Because it's mostly the truth, more or less..we did some awful stuff, but nothing compared to what germany or those crazy japs did, even Romania went full psycho against the URSS during the first months of Barbarossa.

The fascist regime killed lots of people in Ethiopia using nervine gas against civilians, also during the spanish civil war our planes had the bad habit of open fire against the columns of civilians fleeing from the cities after the german bombings, lol

I think the only real warcrimes made by italians during Ww2 were in yugoslavia, since it was so full of partisans the soldiers sometimes burnt down villages and seized food/crops/animals so that often people would starve. Still, I think we were the most "human" side of the Axis and surely the less crazy one.

Another theory: 99% of the media we know about WW2 (movies, vidya, books, comics, everything really) is/was made by americans, and the USA never really fought against Italy, since when the invasion of Europe started, the fascist regime was already gone, so for the average american, the real ww2 enemies are just japs and germans

I also think that italians are pretty hard to hate, I mean how can you hate the country that invented pizza, come on

>>76035135
Concentrated anti getmanic narrative, mediterraneans cant be fascists with their own will and power.

>>76035712
USA raped killed enslaved and exterminated hundreds of millions

because italian fascism was national pride driven while germans were genocidal butthurts

>>76039145
Thats the jewish propaganda speaking

>>76039068
Italy massacred a fuckton of Ethiopians during the occupation (Yekatit 12). Italy doesn't get shit because they gloss it over or point fingers at Germany.
>>
Because we all know Germans are just pretending that they aren't anti Semites. Italians actually hated Mussolini and hung him like the pig he is once they got the opportunity.

Because Italians mostly massacred people that didn't matter. Ethiopians, Albanians, etc. Germans sperged out on everyone.
>>
Because Italians are charming and likeable.
>>
>>76041533
That's because the narrative for Eastern Front came from German sources for the longest time, due to Cold War. It was really after the Cold War ended and the Russian archives opened that the russian side was heard.

>Although there were sufficient lifeboats for the entire ship's complement, including the POWs, heavy listing prevented half from being launched until the vessel had settled. The Italian POWs were left locked in the cargo holds as the ship sank, but most escaped by breaking down hatches or climbing up the ventilation shafts. Several were shot when a group of POWs rushed a lifeboat station, and a large number were bayoneted to death in attempts to prevent them boarding the few lifeboats available. Although the Polish guards were armed with rifles with fixed bayonets, they were not loaded and the guards carried no ammunition. Witnesses indicate that few of the POWs were shot (presumably by British troops), instead most of the casualties were bayoneted.[3] By the time the last lifeboats were launched most survivors had already entered the water, so some lifeboats had few passengers. Only one life raft left the ship with POWs on board; the rest jumped into the ocean. Survivors later recounted how Italians in the water were either shot or had their hands severed by axes if they tried to climb into a lifeboat. The blood soon attracted sharks.[3][4]

Typical anglo behaviour.

>Germany raped

it was banned to rape for german soldiers
>>
>>76035135

because italians are darker, kike tier, and inherently more sociable.

germans are whiter, goys, literally genocided kikes, and are naturally less friendly and colder.

so naturally italians are portrayed as good boys who dindu nuffin, while germans are da ebil white man.

Yeah, after trying to conquer them for what, the fifth time?

Italy DINDU NUFFIN

No it was. It's just low discipline and urge to revenge the rape of soviet women. You know, the most densely populated part of the country was in the German occupation during first half war.

One story was told me by my grandfather. In their group of soldiers there was couple of guys who gone at night and get back in the morning during siege of Berlin for some days. Other soldiers didn't know why did they leave but there was an assumption that they were killing of germans. When army bosses found out it all of them were executed by shooting.

Cause were a charming bunch.

Also nationally we didn't have a moment of public atonement like the German did. Everybody wanted to sweep everything under the rug, hell the amnesty for the fascist war and political crimes was championed by the then leader of the Communist Party. There was aneed fo reconciliation, for 2 years more or less the country was undergoing civil war.

Only recently things came up, like what we did in Africa, the lager in Triest etc...

I dunno....maybe because Germany genocided millions of jews and slavs, and Italy didn't?
>>
>>76035135
Germany is a largely successful nation which can take being mocked. Italy on the other hand is basically an African nation dangling from the bottom of Europe, like a dry shit clinging to the arse of a cow. Making Italians look worse than they already are is seen as too much of a low blow.

>>76041533
That's how most people viewed the Germans when they came here

You sure you don't have Italy confused with Greece? :^)
