Dennis ~T312 Since there has not been much written about the men who held Italy’s highest military grade, I am here trying to give the basic facts about the best known of them. I even succeeded in obtaining a picture of a Marshal’s Baton with case (see Figure 4), awarded to two of thems Marshal Count Luigi Cadorna and Marshal Armando Diaz. Especially interesting is the fact that Benito Mussolini was instrumental in the elevation of Cadorna to this exalted rank. Two Marshals, Messe and Roatta, are known Only for rather dubious reasons. Messe was the man promoted by the Duce to Marshal just before he surrendered to the Allies in Tunisia, reminding one of the similar action of Adolf Hitler in regard to Frlederich Paulus at Stalingrad. Rostra was Chief of the Commando Supremo (Armed Forces High Command). Marshal Count Luigi Cadorna is the only man worthy of bearing the title of Marshal. ’What he accomplished during World War I was unbelievable in terms of endurance and stamina. Other generals would almost surely have been relieved much sooner, but he managed to survive through the eleven Battles of the Isonzo, including the catastrophe at Tolmein-Flitsch-Caporetto. Shortly afterward, here was relieved of his post as Commander- in-Chief and replaced by his long-t~me assistant, Armando Diaz. FIGURE 4 --8-- While Cadorna was unable to defeat the Austro-Hungarian Army, and suffered enormous tactical defeats himself, he had a giant hand strate~ically in helping the Allies win World War I. His actions tied down the cream of the Austro-Hungarian Ar~ies and their best commanders for years, depriving the Central Poweres of their use on the Western Front. Austrian commanders won battle alter battle against Cadorna, but due to lack of reserves and lack of cooperation by the German General Staff, they saw their operations fizzle out. As a matter of fact, the lack of a Unified Central Powers’ Command played a decisive role in the defeat of Germany and her Allies. Cadorna was despised at first, after his recall, but later on the Allies recognized the value of his strategy and Mussolini arranged for his promotion to Marshal, together with that of Diaz. The best known Marshal was Air Marshal Italo Balbo, who led a squadron to Rio de Janeiro, thence to the Chica~o Exposi- tion, and then back across the Atlantic. He suffered an un- timely death on i0 June 1940 at Tobruk. He was shot down in error by his own troops. For a long time, foul play was suspec- ted, since Mussolini and Balbo did not see eye to eye. Today, ’however, the facts clearly indicate that his plane, an S ?9, was shot down in error, shortly after a flight of British bombers ~had departed the area. Balbo was a very intelligent man. Marshal Badoglio was Chief of Staff at the time of the Greek invasion and resigned shortly thereafter. Later on, he took M~;ssolini’s place as Head of the Government and arranged the Armistice with the Allies. Marshal Gaziani was in command of the troops in Libya and suffered an enormous defeat there. The British pounded him to pieces and chased his ridiculous "Tankettes" for great distances. Loyal to the Duce to the end, he was demoted and deprived of most of his decorations. Marsh$1 de Bono was mostly a political Marshal and was not even good at that. He voted against Mussolini in the Fascist Grand Council in July, 19~3, and thus contributed to the down- fall of the Fascist regime. Later he, along with Mussolin’s son-in-law, Count Galeazzo Ciano, fell into the hands of the Fascist Italian Social Republic and was shot. MARSHAL COUNT LUIGI CADORNA Cadorna was born in Pallonza in 185O, the son of a distinguished general, Raffale Cadorna, who, in 1870, had commanded the Italian troops which entered Rome. Luigi entered the Army in 1866. In 1905 he was promoted Lieutenant-General, and in 1906, at the age of 56, was designated Commander-in-Chief in case of war. On lO July 1914 he became Chief of the General Staff upon the death of General Pollio. After Caporetto, in November 1917, he was relieved of his command and was sent to Versailles as Military Representative of Italy, but soon had to leave. His conduct of the Italian withdrawal to -9- .

Sanders, Associate Dean of Graduate Studies Date Ryan J. Antonucci © 2013 iii ABSTRACT Scholars of Italian-American history have traditionally asserted that the ethnic community’s media during the 1920s and 1930s was pro-Fascist leaning. This thesis challenges that narrative by proving that moderate, and often ambivalent, opinions existed at one time, and the shift to a philo-Fascist position was an active process. Using a survey of six Italian-language sources from diverse cities during the inauguration of Benito Mussolini’s regime, research shows that interpretations varied significantly. One of the newspapers, Il Cittadino Italo-Americano (Youngstown, Ohio) is then used as a case study to better understand why events in Italy were interpreted in certain ways.

KEON ESKY iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This thesis owes a debt of gratitude to many people in many different countries, and indeed continents. They have all contributed in various measures to the completion of this endeavour. However, this study is deeply indebted first and foremost to my supervisor Dr. Francesco Borghesi.

  • 'Something Is Wrong with Our Army…' Command, Leadership & Italian
    Journal of Military and Strategic VOLUME 14, ISSUE 1, FALL 2011 Studies ‘Something is wrong with our army…’ Command, Leadership & Italian Military Failure in the First Libyan Campaign, 1940-41. Dr. Craig Stockings There is no question that the First Libyan Campaign of 1940-41 was an Italian military disaster of the highest order. Within hours of Mussolini’s declaration of war British troops began launching a series of very successful raids by air, sea and land in the North African theatre. Despite such early setbacks a long-anticipated Italian invasion of Egypt began on 13 September 1940. After three days of ponderous and costly advance, elements of the Italian 10th Army halted 95 kilometres into Egyptian territory and dug into a series of fortified camps southwest of the small coastal village of Sidi Barrani. From 9-11 December, these camps were attacked by Western Desert Force (WDF) in the opening stages of Operation Compass – the British counter-offensive against the Italian invasion. Italian troops not killed or captured in the rout that followed began a desperate and disjointed withdrawal back over the Libyan border, with the British in pursuit. The next significant engagement of the campaign was at the port-village Bardia, 30 kilometres inside Libya, in the first week of 1941. There the Australian 6 Division, having recently replaced 4 Indian Division as the infantry component of WDF (now renamed 13 Corps), broke the Italian fortress and its 40,000 defenders with few casualties. The feat was repeated at the port of Tobruk, deeper into Libya, when another 27,000 Italian prisoners were taken.

  • Foreign News: Where Is Signor X?
    Da “Time”, 24 maggio 1943 Foreign News: Where is Signor X? Almost 21 years of Fascism has taught Benito Mussolini to be shrewd as well as ruthless. Last week he toughened the will of his people to fight, by appeals to their patriotism, and by propaganda which made the most of their fierce resentment of British and U.S. bombings. He also sought to reduce the small number pf Italians who might try to cut his throat by independent deals with the Allies. The military conquest of Italy may be no easy task. After the Duce finished his week's activities, political warfare against Italy looked just as difficult, and it was hard to find an alternative to Mussolini for peace or postwar negotiations. No Dorlans. The Duce began by ticking off King Vittorio Emanuele, presumably as insurance against the unlikely prospect that the sour-faced little monarch decides either to abdicate or convert his House of Savoy into a bargain basement for peace terms. Mussolini pointedly recalled a decree of May 10, 1936, which elevated him to rank jointly with the King as "first marshal of Italy." Thus the King (constitutionally Commander in Chief of all armed forces) can legally make overtures to the Allies only with the consent and participation of the Duce. Italy has six other marshals. Mussolini last week recalled five of them to active service.* Most of these men had been disgraced previously to cover up Italian defeats. Some of them have the backing of financial and industrial groups which might desert Mussolini if they could make a better deal.
