Good point!

@RN7: I'm not offended. I don't want to throw the baby out with the bathwater- I'm just trying to figure out a way to justify and work with canon instead of tossing out major pieces that don't seem to fit. It can be a bit of stretch, I admit, but, IRL, stranger things have happened.

A couple of things to keep in mind.

Italy has a long and illustrious history of switching sides during World Wars.

Italy had strong and sometimes successful leftist parties during the Cold War. It certainly casts things in a more complex light.

@Rainbow Six: Thanks for doing the research and posting those excerpts.
