Hey Everyone!
On today's episode, we continue our red march to civil war, and take one last look at the Spaghetti Eaters, the Makaronades...the Italians. We'll cover what the Italian occupation looked like on the ground, how their surrender and elimination was carried out, and what this means for our Ahndartes.
Enjoy!
