What events determined Italy's involvement in the second world war? Well, maritime issues played a relevant role.. More on that here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=vqJC...

The Giussano class cruisers were among the first naval constructions initiated by Italy in the interwar period. I talked about the shipbuilding programmes of the Regia Marina in this video: youtu.be/UlJjyWJm3RI?...

This evening I am returning on @ww2tv.bsky.social together with Martin Debattista to discuss the situation of Malta in 1940 amd Italian plans against the island www.youtube.com/live/nLET64b... #ww2 #malta #history

In the early hours of #OTD 1941, Force K ambushed the Beta (or Duisburg) convoy on its way to North Africa and destroyed it in its entirety. Two Italian destroyers were also lost, RCt Fulmine and Libeccio. @ima-naval-history.bsky.social @rjhammond215.bsky.social @marcusfaulkner.bsky.social

An overlooked but very interesting clash in Mediterranean waters youtu.be/WyilC7WzMCQ?...

#OTD in 1941 I./S.R.104 was assigned to Fortress Halfaya from 21. Panzerdivision. Two days later a furious letter from Division z.b.V. Afrika, then responsible for the Halfaya Pass, was sent to Panzergruppe command. @cedricmas.bsky.social @ima-naval-history.bsky.social

What was the Italian naval strategy in the Mediterranean during World War Two? Here is explained, with the words of Admiral Giuseppe Fioravanzo @crusaderproject.bsky.social @navalairhistory.com @dralexclarke.bsky.social @drachinifel.bsky.social youtu.be/DKk-2DDjD84?...

Today at 9PM CET, I am answering your questions about the Italian Navy in #ww2 among the topics you requested, Mas boats, radar, naval aviation and more! www.youtube.com/live/9M7GhXw... @crusaderproject.bsky.social

Axis secret missions to the far east aimed at retrieving strategic materials for the German war machine. This is the incredible story that involved submarines and crews of the Italian Navy during World War Two, the subject of my latest video www.youtube.com/watch?v=hX5R... @drachinifel.bsky.social

A rather splendid picture of an 88mm gun firing as ground artillery in North Africa. The gun is operated by an Italian crew, most likely belonging to the Ariete armoured division, in early 1942. Details in ALT. @ima-naval-history.bsky.social @cedricmas.bsky.social

Attacking New York with midget submarines? Well, someone in the Regia Marina thought about it. I talked about this story in this video on the curious C.A. class midget submarines: youtu.be/SM5dU6Wrdbk?...

Chatting with @drachinifel.bsky.social on the relevance of naval battles and Sea power. We also look at the perception of the Royal Navy towards the Regia Marina and the Kriegsmarine 📺Link here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=uygn...

How is it possible that the destruction of an Italo-German convoy in April 1941 is connected to the famous raid on Alexandria? Secret documents were found on board the wreck of the HMS Mohawk that helped plan the raid on the Egyptian port. More here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wyil...

#OTD in 1941 HM/Sub Thunderbolt sank the small Italian steamer Sirena 50 miles off Benghazi. This was the beginning of a week of carnage on the North Africa supply route that would see supply anxiety levels in Panzergruppe Afrika skyrocket. @rjhammond215.bsky.social #navalhistory

The submarine Torelli participated in the Battle of the Atlantic from the summer of 1940 and would end its career take it all the way to the Far East for the transport of strategic materials. 📺I talked about these operations in this video: youtu.be/mHRCZ2v2K60?...

A coloured picture of the submarine Barbarigo in Bordeaux, 1943. The unit saw extensive use in the battle of the Atlantic and ultimately converted into transport submarine. I talked abouth the Bordeaux based submarines in this video: youtu.be/mHRCZ2v2K60?...
