Breaking News - Germans could have helped bomb Pearl Harbor...

You know, I want to love PBS.  But aside from the fact that think the Third Reich annexed Australia from some 9,000 miles away...my biggest gripe is who the fuck would consider Italy to be a Titan of the 20th century?  They invaded a rather helpless and famine-stricken country in Ethiopia with an 800 to 5 tank advantage, used mustard gas extensively and mass civilian slaughters despite the Geneva Convention, and barely won.  Then almost lost it back before the Nazi's Afrikakorps helped Italy not fuck up its disastrous footprint on the African continent.  Selassie gets a cool Marley-led religion out of it for his trouble, while Italy goes on to fuck up one battle after the other until 1945.

is that good?

Considering the Italian engineering and Sicilians driving them, it was basically a wash.

Military accounting of force/armor/aircraft/troop posture typically speaks in whole numbers, not ratios/fractions.  Plus if you saw that were out-armored 160 to 1, you'd get all bummed out and surrender because everybody knew Nasibu was a shitty tank driver and only got the job because he married well.  But if you see 800 to 5, you get a little pep in your step and realize losing a couple tanks before sunset isn't the crippling loss it appears to be.
