Italy,
A combination of over-eagerness and bad timing had Italy join the Axis.
Poor military leadership and equipment handicapped Italy's efforts in the war, but the Italian
Army made valuable contributions to the Axis.From the desert of North Africa to the snow-covered
plains of Russia. The Italian infantrysoldier was a man with no morale and lackluster. The
whole Italian tank production during WW II was nearly 3.500 tanks, undergunned with poor armor.
T he artillery was perhaps the best troops fielded in the war, well-trained, using 100+ guns,
most 75mm field gun or 80mm mortar.
