       | To be fair, this was more reflecting the utterly embarrassing way
       | the Italian king and his government managed the switch on 8
       | September 1943. There are similar stories of Italians rounded up
       | by Germans all over Italy, Germany, and Africa. Italian troops
       | were unprepared and received confused orders, if they ever
       | received any.

       | This is tangential but I think NHK does incredible journalism and
       | I'm happy that they have an English publication. They have a lot
       | of very interesting historical stories I see on YouTube
