Initially aligned with the Fascist regime, their story unfolds with dramatic shifts in allegiance, from participating in Mussolini's arrest to disbandment by German forces after Italy's armistice with the Allies. Divided, they reconstituted under Allied control and joined the Italian resistance, displaying remarkable resilience. Witness their post-war legacy and recognition for their contributions, representing a commitment beyond political ideologies. Join us to explore the complex narrative of the Carabinieri's transformation from supporting Fascism to becoming heroes of resistance during WW2.

Two nitpicks: Italy has FIVE police forces (there's also the Guardia di Finanza that deals with financial crimes, the provincial police that operates on a provincial level, and the local police that operates on a single city or a small group of towns), and the Carabinieri's loyalty was only to the king. And when the king decided Mussolini had to go, they obeyed.
In the mid 90s when I was cool I found what was described as an Italian border guard trench coat. Silver buttons, red facings on a black full length trench. I loved that coat
@@garethjones4742 That was a Guardia di Finanza uniform.
So they are kinda like a modern royal guard?
@@Based_Gigachad_001 They're military police that also acts as normal law enforcement, but their ranks do indeed include the Corazzieri, royal guard during the monarchy and now presidential guard.
Correction, four national: Polizia di Stato (State Police), Arma dei Carabinieri, Guardia di Finanza and Polizia Penitenziaria (Jail Police)
Provincial and Local police corps are each independent and controlled by the local municipal or provincial "governments", but they don't have the same powers as the national forces nor the equipment
Fun fact: the GIS (Gruppo Intervento Speciale), elite Carabinieri assault unit, is the favourite commando by Interpol to breach or hunt criminals down
They have tons of experience from dealing with the real mafia for a very long time.
@@Hunter_Nebidand also against Red and black terrorism during the 70/80s
@@carlozenatelli9392they probably did a lot of the terrorism themselves
@@carlozenatelli9392 whats black terrorism in Italian context?
Says the Italian.
I worked alongside the Carabinieri in Mogadishu in 1993 - they weren't "Soldiers" like we were, but they were very competent, professional and absolutely hilarious to be around. They also had the best food in the field that I've ever seen anywhere and I made every excuse possible to go to their compound whenever I wanted really good chow, strong espresso and a cold beer. Great dudes! 😁👍🇺🇸🇮🇹 We happy few!
From what I've been told by all my contacts in the Italian armed forces here in Italy, you surely weren't alone. Our field kitchens and mess halls are the envy of everyone and abroad attract dozens of allied troops.
@joerosa2532 I still get hungry every time I think of their lemon pepper chicken and fresh, handmade tricolor tortellini and cold Lambrusco in an air-conditioned tent!
They weren't "Soldiers" like we were? In fact the Carabinieri were much more competent than the Americans soldiers
the attack on the Carabinieri base in Iraq in 2003 was not in Basra, but An Nasiriyah. I know, because I was there. I became very good friends with several Carabinieri members, and we still talk to this day.
nobody cares. thx

This video was exceptional, well done The Front. As an Italian myself i'm beyond satisfied that you dedicated an entire video about the Carabinieri and their history🇮🇹🫡.
I’m surprised he could keep himself to 23 minutes he could of easily made a feature length film
14:14 this is a very famous picture of the partisans and one of the women was actually a friend of my great-grandmother. My great-grandmother helped her by giving her clothes and food for the other partisans. After the war the woman in the picture got a medal from the president, but my great-grandmother had already passed away at that point, so the president invited my family to the ceremony and kissed my father and my uncle on the forhead. The woman in the picture said that my great-grandmother should've been at the ceremony right in front of the others because of her help. This was all in the city of Pistoia in Tuscany. Thank you The Front for this amazing documentary❤❤
Grazie for the info.
I think you partially missed the point: Carabinieri have always been loyal to the king and to the country. Even for an antifascist Carabiniere it was his duty to obey any Prime Minister the King had named. There were no shifting alliance or anything similar. Just Carabinieri doing what they've been trained to: be faithful through the centuries, no matter what.
BTW, I'd like to add more info on modern days Carabinieri. As the videos already said, the Carabinieri are multi-purpose military police force which can be used both in and out the country as indipendent police force and as light infantry. They have a Tier-1 Special Forces units, Paratroopers, Heliborne specialized squadrons, Mechanized units and Coastal and Blue water units as well as specialized units for environment and artistic heritage protection, labour policing etc. In military operation they work alongside the army in police tasks, peacekeeping operations, hostage rescues, local forces training, reconaissance and intelligence, crowd and riot control, humanitarian aid and VIP protection. They're more like soldiers with an intense police training background than a normal military police.
It's how I've seen them. They are loyal to the throne, not to the butt sitting in it. Similar to the US Secret Service, they obey the Office of the President, not the President.
It's a weird line with a lot of grey areas, but there is a difference.
@@christopherconard2831Bingo. The US Secret Service is a great comparison. If I remember correctly the Carabinieri are still the ones who have to defend the President during wartime, riot, civil war etc. The Corazzieri (Carabinieri cavalry unit) once were the Royal Guard, nowadays thay act as Presidential Guard.
Another thing I think it's pretty unique to the Carabinieri is their full inclusion in our daily life. Pretty much every city and every town (even the smaller one) has a Carabinieri station. The station chief has been for decades as important as the mayor or the local priest for the people.
If the carabinieri had learned of the massacre of the Acqui Division on the island of Cephalonia by German troops, then it’s no wonder they joined the resistance in the Balkans.
Carabineri had some legendary battles with the Sicilian Cosa Nostra. They aren't afraid of much.
Carabineri: " I existed before italy, i will exist beyond italy when E.U. finally bank rupts italy, my goals are beyond your understanding" (insert reverse flash meme)
My goals are beyond your understanding as well sweetheart 😉👨❤️💋👨🍌💦🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈
May Meloni keep it this way! 👍
If anything It Will be Italy to bankrupt the EU by leaving the single currency as soon as the Word austerity becomes popular once more. Not that high inflation Is good for a high private savings nation like Italy, but still better than what they did to Greece, Portugal and Spain.
What's a reverse flash meme?
Their allegiance never shifted
It was always to Italy
their motto is Nei Secoli Fedele which mean Loyal Through the Centuries
I was stationed it Italy for a little over three years. The "carbs" were everywhere and did not fuck around. They operated the gates to the base at night along with the MPs. One night, there was a scuffle at the bar/gas station across the street, and the Carbs on duty went over to check it out. Ended up being a big bar fight. During the nonsense, a couple of Moroccan guys took off into the cornfield next to the bar/gas station. The Carbs just hosed the field with their SMGs. They went in later and dragged the bodies out to the road.
I talked to several Carbs in my time in Italy. Several were paratroopers and had deployed to Afghanistan.
The Carabinieri are part of the official Army reserve and while they will not regularly get deployed in Peacetime they often are
@@extremathule982 in che senso scusa?
We were specifically told not to mess with the Carabineri, when I was in the Navy, in the 80s on shore leave. They seemed ok, but I could never shake the fact, they were carrying machine pistols.
Navy 🤦🏼♂️😂 Guys who are in the military carry guns to work 😁👍
When the mafia could be waiting anywhere to do you mischief, you generally want something better than a handgun if - or when - the fireworks start...
You have to know that back in those days in Italy there were communist terrorists which were used to kill people with bombings in major cities (in some of them, like the one happened in Naples, also US military members lost their lives and / or were kidnapped; they kidnapped also a General of the American Forces !!!) and the Carabinieri were tasked to oppose them, and in addiction, they come from the military branches of the armed forces, they are more or less our "military police". That is why they were wearing machine guns !!! They are also tasked to protect V.I.P.s and magistrates like Falcone and Borsellino, which fight and fought against the mafia... All types of mafias...
Back in the 70 and 80s, which in Italy are referred to as "Anni di Piombo" (Years of Lead, the material of the bullets) the Carabinieri were tasked with the objective to repel the communist and fascist terrorist groups which used to kill and maim civilians and magiastrates with bombings in the major cities, and they fulfilled the tasks...
That is why they carry MGs...
They are also tasked with the objective to repel the various mafia organisations as law enforcers and defend the VIPs and foreigner chiefs of State in visit in the country. They are the personal guard of the Presidente della Repubblica too.
During wars and taliban riots they are tasked with the work of peacekeeping and training of the local armed forces and police alike...
And they are also trained as paratroopers and counter insurgents armed forces... The so called "9th Col Moschin'', tier 1 spec ops paratrooper force dedicated to chasing the mafia members. Their name dates back to the World War 1 era... Col Moschin is a mountain where the Carabinieri armed forces showed their military prowess during that war...
3:00 should be stated that the kingdom of naples was a french pupet with its king Marshal murat being napoleon's most famous cavalry commander.
Carabina was a type of cavalry rifle, the king needed a unit that could quickly respond to any situation, making the Carabinieri a mostly mounted type force.
These Canabinieri also served along side USAF Security Police during the deployment of the Ground Launched Cruise Missile system. From what I heard, they were amazing troops.
Although not really related to WW2, you should check out Garibaldi’s exploits in the Italian Wars of independence and unification as well as his grandson in WW1 in the Garibaldi Legion
You should check out an Italian documentary called “Roma Luca” about 🏳️🌈 Men from Italian army’s escapades inside a Massage Sauna place during WW2.
Another great video. Keep up the good work. This the same guy that runs a Star Wars channel? 🤣
It was an informative and wonderful historical coverage video about (Italian military police -Carabineri )...they were faithful for Italy.
Faithful TO Italy...
When I was in Italy, there was a member of my church who was a Carabinieri. Occasionally, due to his duty requirements, he would come to church wearing his full uniform. Exploding bomb on his hat, red stripe on his trousers, black boots, etc. This was pretty cool, but what was even better (for someone from a country that supports gun rights) was he would come to church wearing his 9 MM side arm on his hip. Now that was really cool.
There is also a militarised tax police in Italy, with roots older than the Carabinieri, the Guardia di Finanza, who also had a combat role in WW2.
Carabinieri are older aren't they?
There is a big difference between Polizia and Carabinieri, and is not that Polizia is a civil organization. Wherever there's a municipality you can find a Carabinieri station, Polizia is found in cities, that is, Polizia is more an "urban" law enforcement organization, even Polizia Ferroviaria (railway police) is not present in ALL railway station; the only exception is Polizia Stradale, that patrols mostly Autostrade (toll higways). Carabinieri on the other side are those you go to when someone steals your wallet and you are not in a city, no matter how backwater a municipality is.
Furthemore, lableling the whole Carabinieri corp/armed force as nationalist is _wrong_. As said elsewhere, Carabinieri where loyal to the state, in WW II that meant being loyal to the king: Italy was still officially a monarchy, there was the royal navy (Regia Marina), the royal air force (Regia Aereonautica), and royal army (Regio Esercito) comprising Carabinieri. They simply _remained_loyal_to_the_king_ all along the war era. When Mussolini was the king prime minister and fascist law was the law of the kingdom, they enforced it, but when Mussolini was someone against the state, its laws were not supported any more and remaining Carabinieri in RSI become an unarmed law enforcement agency, still the only one available everywhere, no matter how backwater a place is.
About Salvo D'Acquisto, Carabinieri could the only armed force (now they are an armed force on their own) who has trained its own Patron Saint... :)
They were very loyal to the King, not so much Mussolini.
Are we going to see other video's on other military police units of WWII. I hope the answer is yes. Because this video was a great look into one that is little understood.
I recall seeing Forestieri which were kind of like the forest police in the Alps of Northern Italy where my parents come from.
Corpo Forestale dello Stato has been merged with Carabinieri in 2017. Now they are called "Carabinieri forestali".

I like how you slipped in a still from the TV series "The Untouchables", holding firearms...Robert Stack, Keenan Wynn, etc...
Informative video as always my Aussie friend ,hope you'll do a video on the Sri Lankan civil war 1 day keep up the good work.
the carabinieri were allways loyal to the king and the crown. not really to mussolini.
And Italy
Wrong data analysis: 1.2M soldiers didn't perish during the Great War, they were just casualties, which means deaths+wounded. Around 600 k died and 600k were wounded
Great video! Regards from italy! 🇮🇹❤️💙
Very interesting. thx.
in fact itsly also has local police and Municipal police as well as the Guardia di Finanza( financial guard) which is the other qusi military police force and provincial police.
“History isn’t black and white but shades of grey” never more proven than in this video

Interesting content.
Nice video. But for your information just in case you decide to do more video on the topic, pay attention to call the german-aligned side Italian SOCIAL Republic not SOCIALIST.
Also from my personal knowledge the carabinieri were primarily loyal to the King. If you want to investigate about the relations between the fascists and royalist look up for the italian fascist diarchy
I think it's fair to say that the officers did what they had to do in order to survive or else be at the other end of a fireing squad.
Carabinieri never switched side. They obeyed the king’s orders.
The king Vittorio Emanuele switched side on September 8, 1943.
The Carabinieri just obeyed as their motto indicates -- “faithful throughout the centuries” -nei secoli fedele--
One thing I can say, they're way more approachable than the unscrupulous to the end Dai Li from Avatar: The Last Airbender and ESPECIALLY The Legend of Korra.
Because they're real.
Faithful through the centuries they were

Many people, even Italians, don't know this but the Carabinieri act as a counter-espionage force in the military. In the early 60s, my father during his military period was assigned to his Army regimental HQ secret counter-espionage office. He held the "books" on all the soldiers, NCOs and officers in the regiment, including the regimental commander, the colonel. All personal info of said men going back 5 generations was kept under key. Immagine that!!! My father's contacts in case of an "issue" with some member of the regiment, the Carabinieri. He even had 2 first cousins one with his exact name as Carabinieri NCOs. He's always stated that the Carabinieri are by far the most loyal to Italy. Viva l'Arma!!
The carabinieri were loyal to the king , they were not responsible for Mussolini rise , the obey him becouse he was made prime minister by the king . They where not an istrument of repression but a police force . After the king made peace with the allied , they obey his order to join them in the liberation of Italy and low enforcement. After the war and the referendum that made italy a republic , the last king relieve the carabinieri from loyalty to himself and accepts the vedict of the referendum to avoid a civil war , and serve the state of Italy like before .
The carabinieri switched sides only after the Italian Government did so. The Force now plays an important role enforcing federal laws including those associated with the environment.
There's no such thing as "federal laws" in Italy, as the county is not a federation

There are three police forces in Italy (1) the National Police (Polizia di Stato), (2) the Carabinieri a gendarmerie, (2) vigili municipal police
I must concede, I got the police force organizations wrong. I should have split them by ministry. (1) the State Police (Polizia di Stato) falls under Dipartimento della Pubblica Sicurezza (the Ministry of Public Security ). (2) the Carabinieri a gendarmerie, which falls under the Defence Ministry. (3) Guardia di Finanza (the Finance Police) which falls under the Economy Ministry. (4) Polizia Penitenziaria - the Prisons Police, falls under the Ministry of Justice. (5) Polizia Provinciale (Provincial Police) are sub-national jurisdictions and fall under the provincial governments. They are responsible for enforcing environmental law and traffic. (6) The Vigili are municipal police, falling under the jurisdiction of the comune, and responsible for enforcing its bylaws.
Five and six are better described as levels of policing, falling under the constraints of national framework legislation, but consisting of numerous independent jurisdictions. One to four are independent organizations, all on national level of government.
Carabinieri were born after the french occupation as an inheritance kf the french army, the carabianiere were inspired by the neapoleon dragoons that were line infantry soldiers who used horses to move in the battlefield. After the french gone the Savoia who were kings of Sardinia and Piemonte thought that a unit like that would be very effective against insurgents and protest from the peasents of the kingdom, so they spread a lot of barracks in every small village, and still today you find Carabinieri everywhere around Italy but you will find police only in big cities, they are really close to population while police are very didtant
Do they have cool hats like the Guardia Civil?
Yeah, my grandma called them "the airplanes" as they used to wear those large black hats you see in the video
@@brainyskeletonofdoom7824 I like those hats, I can't lie. Although I'd be like "Why is a bullfighter trying to arrest me?"

The Carabinieri DIDN'T support fascism, they always worked for the country (until 1946 king and country), which happened to be, for 20 years, fascist. But that had little to do with their work
edit: I see you mentioned it in the video
So went things go south they back stab you
There is this weird obsession on UA-cam, could call it a meme, about depicting italians as traitors even if all examples given are debatable at best... But this is very clear cut and obvious: the carabinieri were ALWAYS LOYAL TO KING AND COUNTRY NEVER TO MUSSOLINI. It's so simple yet this dumbass channel desperately want to make it controversial for some reason
The name is derived from the French Word carabinieer meaning "soldier armed with a carbine". The Carbine displayed in the video would not have been around in 1726. A Carbine is simply a long gun that has a barrel shortened from its original length. The smaller size and weight makes them easier to handle, particularly from a horse. Paratroopers, artillery soldiers, and other non-infantry soldiers who do not require full length rifles also use them.
.
Inspired by the French gendarmerie, the corps was created by King Victor Emmanuel I of Sardinia with the aim of providing the Savoyard state of the Kingdom of Sardinia with a police corps. Previously, police duties were managed by the Dragoni di Sardegna Corps, created in 1726 and composed of volunteers. After French soldiers had occupied Turin at the end of the 18th century and later abandoned it to the Kingdom of Sardinia, the Royal Carabinieri Corps was instituted under the Royal Patents of 13 July 1814.[9] The name is derived from the French word carabinier, meaning "soldier armed with a carbine."[10] Source: Wikipedia

Gendármarie is "zhon-DARM-aree", and the term 'gendárme' pronounced alike.
Papal is "pay-pul". The Papacy.
Duchy is "dutchy", because it's a ducal kingdom, ergo run by an archduke.
*Stop mispronouncing words.*
from what ive seen carabinieri today are usually these 50 something year old guys with aviator sunglasses, stocky and built like a tank with a kind of vaguely amused but sinister smirk on their faces- until work needs to be done, and that changes to a cold and stern look.
A relative of mine is a Carabiniere, he is slim, 1,90 m tall and very athletic... And he is around 30 years of age... What b***sh** you are saying, man?!?
Are you going to vote for Trump, correct?!?
You left out the history of all the carabinieri who chose to fight in the RSI as anti-aircraft soldiers and as border soldiers in the GNR and in the territorial defense militia in Friuli which was made up of 1400 former carabinieri. the latter fought against the Yugoslav army which was trying to annex parts of north-eastern Italy. At Malga Bala 12 captured RSI carabinieri were k'lled by Yugoslav communist forces. Also in the Campo Marzio Barracks in Trieste, 97 RSI soldiers and former Carabinieri were captured by the Yugoslav forces, the prisoners were all elim'nated in the mass*cres known as the foibe mass*cres. The soldiers under Mussolini were not of dubious loyalty and efficiency they were like all other regular soldiers (good men). If you have to tell a story, tell it in full, not in half.
Only two police forces? The USA smirks at the lack of organizations.
Actually, we have more. Just theree different police forces, the carabinieri, and the guardia di finanza.
Not more than we do. Us americans have a separate agency for each letter of the alphabet. That's why our literacy rates are so high@@nerdwwii8081
The lack of organisation? My brother in christ, take a look at the Los angeles county police jurisdiction map and the countless 6 man departement that have an APC.
I live 2 mile from the point where the Italian front halted in the Apennines in the winter of 1944. My father has always told me that my uncle, an Italian soldier in Yugoslavia, had fled home to Italy after the Italian defeat to join the anti-fascist resistance. Fanatical fascists arrived from the main town to the countryside at my grandfather's house, accompanied by the Carabinieri who, as the footage doesn't recall, also carried out tasks of territorial army for the Italian state and therefore had their own barracks in every small and peripheral locality. Well, my uncle, the eldest son, seeing the fascist militias coming up the valley and with my grandfather absent, played a desperate card (with the consent of the other family members): he decided to pretend to be my absent grandfather; he answered the militiamen's questions, saying that he hadn't heard from his son (himself actually) since the surrender. And the fascist militiamen left. My uncle's partisan comrades were hiding in the barn: if the deception had been discovered, everyone (men, women, children, livestock) would have been slaughtered and the farm would have been set on fire. The Carabinieri who had been forced to accompany the fascist militia in their dirty counter-guerrilla work knew my uncle and grandfather personally and realized the deception; but they remained silent, actually confirming my uncle's false identity as my grandfather, saving everyone's lives and obviously risking their own (if the deception had been discovered, they too would have been executed). In Italy, if you need to, you can trust the Carabinieri. Honor!

@5:30, Mussolini "envisioning a militaristic, rigidly structured state, with a single dictator". Actually sounds pretty left wing to me!
The Left generally does not extoll the virtues of militarism. The Left may have run countries that had armies but those armies are seen as a means to an end. Fascism teaches that army is of itself a good thing and militarism inculcates admirable qualities in individuals and society at large. Left wing and Right wing perspectives on militarism are very different.
Also, standard Left wing teaching says that state structures should ultimately wither away.
By all means criticize left wing thinking but you need to understand it properly first.
That s because you r used to libertarians.European right is different.That s also the reason why American antifas are dumb... They Don t see fascism... And anyway the first ideological seed for extreme left and right is similar to an extent.
@@harbard642 they're not remotely similar. The origin of the extreme Left lies in an analysis of economic and social history. The origin of the extreme right is entrenched in the notion of placing The Nation State above all things. The societies formed by both perspectives often ended up at somewhat similar places but their origins are light years apart.
The origins of Italian fascism lies in the 1899 S riots in Sicily is the first time the world fascio saw life in modern times and those were mostly socialists... later on with the wwi intervention debate the results of wwi fascism changed.. But the base and mussolini s base is socialism...wich by it self leads to state control no matter the goal. And it s where the main different whith capitalism lies. The fact that he is confused is absolutely normal... American right is very different with European right.
@@harbard642 wrong again. The word fasci means a bundle As in a bundle/group of people i.e. organisation, league or society. Trying to kid on it's use in Italian automatically means someone subscribes to the political ideology of Fascism is like saying 2 plus 2 makes 22.
The Fasci Sicilano were disbanded by 1899 and definitely weren't campaigning for a corporate authoritarian state with a centralised autocracy and suppressed all opposition. They wanted the opposite of fascism.
We Croats scared the world 🇭🇷🇭🇷🇭🇷💀💀💀
And yet got walked all over by the germans
Mussolini was always a socialist. 5:30
He was kicked out by the socialist organization he was part of because of his nationalist beliefs,stop spreading misinformation,both communism and fascism brought on a lot of crises and deaths but trying to say that it was actually only one side who did bad things is a really stupid thing
Stopped watching too many commercials. Unsubscribed.
It blows my mind that people cannot grasp the concept. Fascism is very close to communism.
Literally fascism comes from Facio, which means a bundle a group a union
They are both left-wing ideologies
Fascism is not left wing lol was hitler a leftist too hahaha
Agree with you, sir. The powers that be easily control the uninformed , with emotionally charged terms. National Socialism is the polar opposite of Conservative Thought (US citizen here).
It was called "terza posizione" which means third position, they were neither leftist o right wing they were in between, that's why they called themselves fascist
@@jabljun44 the NSDAP was called like that to not confuse voters into not voting real socialists, Hitler and Mussolini themselves hated and made life way harder for socialists and communists,so stop spreading misinformation
@@WillerPewterspoonhe was actually. He was national socialist
Big, fat nitpick: Fascism is left, not right. Please, update your history.
It isn't
Where have you studied history? Fascism is far right, but not so extreme as the nazism, and Mussolini, in his youth ages, was a socialist and a left-winger militant. Only during WW1 and after seeing how the British and the Allied mistreated us Italians, even if we were allied against the Central Empires, decided to become a right winger nationalist!!! Study better dude!!!
Just to clarify: Carabinieri were loyal to the king, not to Mussolini. The Duce would have loved so much to disband them! Fascists had their own militia (the so called MVSN, that means National Security Voluntary Militia), and they could count on the cooperation of common Police.
In fact, it was the first mistake done by Mussolini, which remained a faithful citizen (more or less) of the king of Italy... To allow the king to remain on the throne and keep the grasp and comand, more or less, of the Carabinieri. He should have dismissed the king and his bodyguards, before trying to gain the leadership... Instead he wanted all and wanted it right here right now (and RIGHT WING, if you pass me the joke!!!😅) ... And he allied with Hitler too...
Those were the silly errors he made... The other ones being the so called "Omicidio Matteotti", when he ordered the Matteotti's killing, and the failed attack on Malta island...
If Mussolini had allied himself with the western democracies, killed or arrested the king and avoided to kill Matteotti, and / or conquered Malta... The history, today, would have been totally different...
KOFI? NO THANKS. Stop ebegging. Get a real job if Patreon no longer works and adsense isn't enough. Sick of channels begging for money. Who wrote this script? You? How can anyone verify everything you say as fact? It seems from other comments you can't be trusted.
