In our previous videos discussing Italian armored forces in World War II, we have emphasized the issues they encountered with outdated equipment, poor training and low morale. However, though more than justified by the historical record, these stereotypes were not always upheld. In this video, we will be discussing one of the few operations in which Italian tanks were able to play to their strengths, and played a limited yet useful role in the conquest of a foreign country. In this case, the country was the Kingdom of Albania, one of the fractured Balkan states that Benito Mussolini desperately - and foolishly - wished to make the cornerstones of his modern-day Roman Empire.
