    A friend of my dad’s was a British WWII veteran. He was captured by the Italians and was a POW in Italy for a year before being transferred to a German camp. He swore the Italians were far worse than the German guards (and he said they were scum), in their treatment and torture of POWS. He said the Italians worked hard after the war to hide this…

    Italian from Italy here... And I have to confirm history books still fail to admit the atrocities we pulled. Sure, Fascist Italy wasn't as bad as Nazi Germany... But on the same logic shooting someone in the leg isn't as bad as cutting their leg and beating them to death with it.
    That said... @IntotheShadows Could you make a video on the "Riconquista della Libia" (Reconquest of Libya) or the Second Italian-Abyssinian War next? Because if we're talking of Fascist Italy's atrocities, those should be remembered too. You've even alluded to the Riconquista too.

    My great grandparents knew a man who fought in Italy for America, and he said the suffering of the local populace was immense due to food confiscation by the Nazis and black shirts for the soldiers, and the oppression that naturally comes with having those parties present in your area. One can only imagine how terribly they were willing to treat enemies of their state if this is how they treated their own people.

      My family had lots of nasty things to say about the Nazis and their own government. My grandfather told us by 17 he had to join the army or face prison camp and when sent out to battle they didn't even have guns, needless to say he quickly surrendered to the British forces. Unfortunately it didn't get better he was a prisoner of war held in India and I wouldn't go into details about how horrifying some of the things he told us was for 8 years. Yet he never hated them or anyone speaking more to the fact that it was war and they too were following orders. My grandmother said her parents had to give the Germans what they wanted and felt like slaves to protect their daughters and I am sure you can imagine what they protected them from. So you are correct they're supposed allies and their own government didn't care about them, so it isn't a surprise how they treated prisoners etc, however it is also very important to make sure people do know what they did especially in Africa. Unfortunately I do believe it's not spoken about as much because of where that took place, and because those countries have continued to have turmoil it sadly gets lost.

I remember learning about ww2 and how its importent to never forget what happened so that it wont happen again. But the truth is they only tell a verry small portion of the storry (genocide, concentration camps in Poland, 2 nukes on Japan and America and Russia endded the war). We do learn about Italy and how the popultion over there kiled there president after the war for helping hitler but thats it. Not even trying to give a true picture of that war. No one learns in school how America and England inspired Hitler to do genocide. How they worked together on a program to exterminate certain people. There is a lot of this stuff you dont normaly learn in school that people shuld know if they want to understand why and how this war happened.

      The British had camps for political prisoners in South Africa and India where conditions were no better than those in German camps (but minus the gas chambers, the Brits preferred a more personal approach, firing squads and gallows).
      The Dutch prior to WW2 had several camps for concentrating "undesirables" and others the government didn't know what to do with (including Jewish refugees from Germany). The Germans happily took over those camps after overrunning the country, kept the Dutch guards (most of whom were members of the Dutch nazi party), and used them as temporary holding areas for people to be sent off to the extermination and labour camps.
      Similar in France and Belgium.

How many Japanese, Italian and German prisoners died in the US prisons?

    Think about the subject and what type of “tone” that would suit it, if one is to add music at all.

      We didn't go around killing Japanese immigrants and Japanese Americans. Don't misunderstand me, many of the camps we're not prepared for this number of people and many were summer facilities that were completely unprepared for housing people in winter. Moreover, the fact that we didn't deport these groups from Hawaii, which was the only real territory at risk of conquest by the Japanese but did so on mainland America undermines any rationale for this deplorable act. But it wasn't genocide and there was no mass murder. And people also forget that we did also intern foreign nationals from countries that were with the United States as well as the leadership and many members of fascist pro-German and pro Italian organizations in the United States like the German American bund. The FBI did not do a very good job of figuring out who was a threaten wasn't at first. For instance, Jewish refugees were thrown in camp with the German American Bund, which led to violence. (I don't personally lose any sleep over members of the German American fund being beaten up by refugees from Nazi Germany)

    Just a few things.
    1: "Not as bad as Nazi" is possibly the lowest bar ever so even IF Fascist Italy wasn't as bad it doesn't mean much.
    2: There is a lot of video so correct me if I am wrong here, but I think you referred to Fascist Italy as a "Kingdom" , which is was certainly not, Fascism is certainly dictatorial but not built like a kingdom
    3: Part of the reason most people at the time even Italian Jews before being encamped supported Fascism was largely due to Italy being a Kingdom which for the Majority of the populace was worse in that it brought the Mafia to power and Italians were stuck between a rock and a hard place.
    My Dad still tells me stories about how before fascism everyone feared the Landlords because they could just "take your daughter" and there was nothing you could do about it.
    I am not excusing the horrible actions of Fascism but it was clear that between being Extorted and being Extorted differently Fascism at least before gaining control seemed like a way out.
