The Italian Navy conducted a daring attack in Souda Bay, Crete to take out the British Royal Navy ships anchored there. Using a design from the Italian Black Prince, called "modified tourist boats" the attack was a true battle of David vs Goliath with the little ships going up against the might of the British Navy. An incredibly brave story that deserves telling.

Wow, tourists were really aggressive back in WW2, especially Italians.
@@Taistelukalkkuna This is a great reference to USA Karen soldiers arriving in Sicily
did you see the japanese tourists???
Lol
Don't even look at the Australians...
Don’t talk about the north koreans
Italy: gets memed on for being ineffective during WW2
Italian Navy Frogmen: *Pathetic. Watch and learn, scrubs*
nice pfp
Italian Navy Frogmen: hold my pasta
@@death2304 hold my wine
And then lost the war. So the same.
@@cristsan4171 they did indeed. And Italy earned a lot of the memes against it (for the best, really, I would much prefer the Axis Powers being hamstrung by an incompetent member that tried to modernize way too early than the alternative). However, the frogmen did seem to know what they were doing for the most part.
So it is perhaps fortunate that their talents lay in a niche area with limited applications.
The special forces of the Italian navy actually was quite impressive. I have never heard or read of anything like this being undertaken by the Kriegsmarine; I could be wrong.
The Kriegsmarine was too busy sinking ships with their U-Boats
@@vermas4654 Apparently, I am correct and you agree; the Kriegsmarine was not a particularly creative branch of the German military when it came to 'special operations'.
They tried something similar as a last ditch effort in 1945, trying to ram enemy ships with explosive boats, but had no success on the endeavour
@@riograndedosulball248 Too little and to late to have any effect on the outcome of The War.
@@theallseeingmaster they were pretty creative in other ways tho. But they didn't really have the need or possibilities for larger special operations. They did their job of sinking ships in the Atlantic and that very well
"The Italians were inefficient during ww2"
some boaty boys: look there's where you are wrong
I hate the French nene. They fought bravely
lol
They also won on horses vs tanks. They just had poor generals and were the worst industrial nation
@@JohnnyLodge2 Didn't italy purposely attack countries they know they could win against so they had high winning streaks?
Italian forces in Ethiopia: Am I a joke to you?
Bri'ish: Hey Lads! I think italian aircrafts are hacking, we can't see them!
Italian boats: TNT go brrrr
What can i say they are just cracked at fortnight
no one who lives anywhere on the british isles says guys
@@samwessels8216 yep, they say chaps
Probably, I think
@@fenni5047 they don’t I live in England
@@exsniperyt2823 then i guess its just a stereotype
A request. Since you guys made the reboot of that spared stricken b17, why not making a the red baron reboot? I mean its an idea but i suppose there is more important stuff than a reboot lol.
Yeah it would benefit from yarnhubs new and better graphics
Definitely do that
I was thinking of Mad Jack?
Yeah mad jack would be great for a reboot
make it another sabaton crossover while they're at it!
Hearing no human casualties is one of the best things to have heard, amazing story!
really, I also was surprised for that, I suppose thats basically best performed operation you could perform if you task is to destroy a ship, not crew
I’m glad to see some Italian stories on here! My two great grandparents where in the Italian army one was an artillery man in Ethiopia and north Africa and the became a partisan fighting the Germans in Tuscany, while the other was part of the division sent to Russia where he was captured and in prisoned near Moscow for the rest of the war and then told to March home after the war nearly dying from starvation and the elements as he found his way home.
So thank you for your work and dedication to bringing us these stories! Love the animation
No respect to them for serving a facists regime
@@callgarr7314 they had no choice at the time,they either thought: hmm being in the army and supporting my country is good!
Or they were forced to,either way at least think about what your saying before replying
@@callgarr7314 That's ignorant. Did you even read the part about fighting the Germans?
@@brokenshadowpr0 being in the army and supporting my country is good? Does that also count if your country is an evil regime committing genocide?
Not that I agree with the person you replied to but what you just said wasn't very well thought through...
@@olisko3484 bro, propaganda exists, also that regime hides most bad stuff about itself from its population
The Italian navy doesn't get the respect they deserve, for what their situation was they acted with bravery and achieved a lot.
cuz they have modern cruiser like duca and modern battleship like littorio but never dominate the Mediterranean vs British old battleship and france old one, but italian tried then sunked by swordfish
The problem is the incompetent commander and officers
The Italians had their moments that shine during ww2
@@wake-zj8xp yeah ... For invading somalia
Even though their entire fleet was focused in the Mediterranean they couldn't hold a candle to the Royal Navy that was spread out over every ocean on earth during WWII.
These marines deserve respect, the actual Navy doesn't.

I’m glad Yarnhub isn’t like other history channels, that didn’t care about Axis or Allies. Only saw how they were just men, Allies or Axis. He shares both sides story’s.
Armchair Historian does the same, he makes complete videos from other prespective of important battles
''sad in vietnamese"
Yep.... for a while I thought the opposite when they only uploaded us vids but now I am happy to see Italians and most possibly Germans one day :D (see I know they did horrible stuff but you've got to admit that they were total beasts during the war)

Would be great if you’ll make a video about the Italian folgore at El Alamein, one of the bravest soldier example in Italian history
Don't forget about the Compagnie Auto-Avio-Sahariane or Auto-Saharan Companies which the British modeled their Long Range Desert Group after and who had more than a few tussles with during the desert campaign.

Finally something about Italy!
I never heard this story before. But, it's oddly satisfying for me to see story from the Italian sides in WW2 brought to light! This is now becomes one of my favourites stories.
Yes! The whole last half of the vid, I kept saying, "That is so cool.. that is so cool..." I love unexpected innovation and esp the fact no one died!
British: we did a successful raid on the Jerrys
Italians: we did one too, and it's on you ;-)
Not just one, this, Alexandria and more
Me: *Reads the title*
Also me, a patriotic British: Ha ha! Those foo-no that that can't be right!
British soldier: Sir we lost a destroyer and a tanker a few days ago.
British officer: what, the Germans will pay for this.
British soldier: Sir, the Italians sunk them,
British officer: that can’t get more embarrassing.
British soldier: they used tourism boats.
British officer: I’m quitting
Hahahahhahahahahahah
Lmao
history is written by the winners. But what italians did, litterally with a despicable equipment and most of the time highly outnumbered, was never done by the Allies that had all the possible equipment and mens.
If people will only read what Italians did in Alexandria harbor, Giarabub, Tel el Eisa, Bir el Gubi, El Alamein, Nikolajevka and Izbushensky, i thing that people will change their prespecrive regarding how they see the Italian army in WWII...no other Natuon was able to do what they did there, basically with nothing.
These brave men deserve more recognition. Amazing animations as usual!
It's nice to see the Italians not being portrayed as incompetent pasta munching pizza lovers for once. They genuinely had some pretty good ideas; they just get a bad rep for their poor performance.
For example, did you know the primary hand grenade used by the Italian army, the SRCM mod. 35 (aka il diavolo rosso: "the red devil"), did not use a timed chemical reaction to ignite the explosive filler, but instead a percussion fuse? This means once its safety was disengaged it would explode on impact; and it could easily be converted into an anti personal mine.
quick reminder they invented afterburners
They also designed and built some of the finest aircraft in the world during the war.
@@TraustiGeir Biplanes...yeah..not exactly in fashion by the 1940s.
Yes I realize they made many monoplanes, but they were weak compared to their allied counterparts.
@@igameidoresearchtoo6511 They really weren't. They made some of the best monoplane fighters of the war, they just couldn't make enough of them.
From Wikipedia on the C 202 ( According to aviation author David Mondey, the Folgore has been considered to be one of the best wartime fighters to serve in large numbers with the Regia Aeronautica. In combat, it very quickly proved itself to be an effective and deadly dogfighter against its contemporaries. During mid-1942, in North Africa, the Folgore achieved a ratio kill/loss better than that of the Messerschmitt Bf 109. The Australian ace Clive Caldwell, who fought a wide variety of German, Italian and Japanese fighters during 1941-45, later stated that the C.202 was "one of the best and most undervalued of fighters".)
C 205 (Capt. Eric Brown, CBE, DSC, AFC, RN, Chief Naval Test Pilot and C.O. Captured Enemy Aircraft Flight, remembered how they were impressed when they tested the Veltro. "One of the finest aircraft I ever flew was the Macchi MC. 205. Oh, beautiful. And here you had the perfect combination of Italian styling and German engineering. I believe it was powered by a Daimler Benz DB 605. It was really a delight to fly, and up to anything on the Allied programme. But again, it came just before the Italians capitulated so it was never used extensively. And we did tests on it and were most impressed. The cockpit was smallish but not as bad as the Bf 109.")
From wikipedia on the G 55 (The Fiat G.55 was arguably the best type produced in Italy during World War II, but it did not enter production until 1943, when, after comparative tests against the Messerschmitt Bf 109G and the Focke-Wulf 190, the Luftwaffe itself regarded the Fiat G.55 as "the best Axis fighter".)
From wikipedia on the Re.2005 (Grp Cpt. Duncan Smith, DSO, DFC, a British fighter pilot and fighter leader of World War II, greatly respected the Re.2005, "The Re.2005 'Sagittario' was a potent aircraft. Having had a dog-fight with one of them, I am convinced we would have been hard pressed to cope in our Spitfires operationally, if the Italians or Germans had had a few Squadrons equipped with these aircraft at the beginning of the Sicily campaign or in operations from Malta. Fast, and with excellent manoeuvrability, the Re.2005 was altogether a superb aeroplane".)
@@igameidoresearchtoo6511Italian industries made some strategic mistakes by developing biplanes instead of testing monoplanes. First of all, the chronic lack of resources has forced our best engineers to produce models more economically than their other counterparts. And the early thirties proved them right, our planes were very competitive and earned the fame of long-range flights with Air Marshal Italo Balbo. The Ethiopian war in 1936 and the civil war in Spain demonstrated that our CR32 and CR42 fighters were better than the Soviet Polikarpov biplanes or other equivalent biplanes. This created a kind of blindness towards future aircraft designs which we paid dearly for, because we lacked strategic mass production and even when they developed monoplane aircraft designs, the air-cooled piston engines suffered from instability, they could not be equipped with compressors and therefore the rate of climb was terrible, and even when it was possible to obtain a valid and fast aircraft in an unloaded attitude, as soon as the machine guns or bombs were mounted, we returned to the previous defects. Already in 1938 our air force was outdated and the first alarm bell was the disastrous campaign in England alongside the Luftwaffe. No aerial victories, many flight accidents and planes wearing out very quickly. We started too late in developing modern aircraft. Yet in 1943 the qualitative gap was filled, but there were too few of them to effectively counter the excessive power of the Allied fighters.
However, our pilots were not inferior in preparation and combat tactics to those of the Allies or Germans, but valor cannot hide technical deficiencies for long. (Ettore Muti, a great pilot, but unfortunately also a war criminal of the Italian Social Republic, led a group of SM82 bombers to bomb the English refineries in Barhain in 1940)
yet there has been no shortage of brilliant projects. The only Italian long-range bomber, the Piaggio P108, a four-engined aircraft which, before the USAF flying fortresses and the RAF AVRO Lancasters, was equipped with automatic turrets controlled electrically by the pilot. Only one squadron was built and between breakdowns and bad use (only four P108s used for a raid on Gibraltar!) it could not influence the strategic outcomes of the war in any way.
You should make a video on the manned torpedo raid on the port of Alexandria
That you for making this! I am going to share this with my history professor. He specializes in Italy during WWII
italians everywhere should always get more respect than they normally get. theyre great people on every level.
Thanks 🙏

Everyone gangsta till they see italian

Did anyone notice how the italian soldier gave a “f*ck you” in sign language after the searchlight swept over him?
I saw that, tho it would have been more appropriate to use the "gesto dell' ombrello"
The utterly insane raids of Italian Navy Special forces were some of the main inspirations for modern Frogmen and stand out from the overall unimpressive actions of the Regia Marina in WW2
I like how no one cares Italy was the first one to use frogmen and afterburners. Like, they are completely ignoring every time Italy was successful during ww2 and focusing only on battles where the Italian troops were either outnumbered or had a technological disadvantage.
Your graphics are getting better and better. And a worthwhile story to employ your artists talents - well done to the men involved. It's a myth that the Italians made poor soldiers; their lads were just as brave as any other army.
Another fun fact that after the Germans retreated from Africa Rommel said that is was thanks to the brave fighting of the Italians that they made it out
It wasn't the soldiers, it was the generals and the equipment Italy could afford, thr soldiers were actually brave and well trained
Excellent job textbooks don’t have anything to make it interesting this is fun to watch
How people remember the Italian navy in ww2: weak and pathetic

The Italians either get ignored or mocked in WW2. Not only is this inaccurate and insulting to them, but also the brave men who fought against them.
When Italians were effective, they were _very_ effective.
This is amazing I really love seeing how the animation has improved over a year and all the hard work that goes into these
Everyone: Italy was so ineffective in WW2
Actual Italians: *does the italian hand thing* MAMA MIAAAAAAAAAAAA IMA DO WHAT IS CALLED A EPIC GAMER MOVE
Axis in WW2 got many heroes and brave men too
Could you do a video on the sinking of the Austro-Hungarian battleship Szent István? Its an interesting tale and there's actual footage of her sinking
I effing love it when the Italians fought like this in WW2...RESPECT

Real Italy: Hah ineffective watch and learn
Tbh this only one of the few of italy being useful alot other time italy will be useless like example the german got force to join the battle at africa cause italy cannot hold their own that for make the german loss good amount of soldier to attack soviet and one of theirs best general erwin rommel bur again the italian not that bad at africa rommel said that the italian actually was a brave soldier so they not useless in a way but not good either PS:i just remember when italy join the war in one battle 9 or 6 french unit fight Against 2000 italian all the french surrender but not before killing Hundred of italian
@@aryandrasetiawan5386 It's amazing how so many people think they would have done much better in the battle of Adwa. I dare everyone that says Italy was ineffective to challenge 100k Ethiopian soldiers supplied by the Russians with only 15k soldiers at your command.
@@1nv15BL3 um it pretty irrelevant but ok
Wow! Never heard of this raid before. My late father was serving on HMS Coventry at this time, so a lucky escape for him then. Coventry was sunk later off Tobruk by Stuka dive bombers - a fact the Admiralty strenuously denied for years - having said just previously “The Stuka is obsolete and our anti aircraft cruisers can easily deal with them”!
The official history claimed Italian high level bombers sank Coventry, but the true story came out when the Stuka squadron survivors published their own history - with photographs of the stricken AA cruiser sinking.

Excellent video. Don't want to be nit-picky but I think the MTM (Motoscafo da Turismo Modificato) didn't enter service until autumn 1941. The attack actually used older MT (Motoscafo da Turismo).
Damn whether you love them or hate them this plan took balls to pull off and it went off amazingly.
May I suggest the battle of iwo iwo jima or the great snipers of world war 2?
quality as always
There is another story of Italian navy that is the most impressive at all. An Italian couple was living undercover in Africa, on the day they was like a fisherman family, on the night they turned into special forces frogman (they invented a lot of equipments), and without any motorized vehicle they performed incursions in the various heavily mined and guarded ports (mostly Alexandria), placing timed explosives under allied ships. Those 2, a men and a woman, are responsible of the sinking of 17 allied ships, and caused serious damage to several others. After the war they founded a diving school, they really loved the sea.
What is their name
I hope all of you are having a great Day
Incredible story!
Could you consider making a video about the battle of tali ihantala that saved finland in ww2
I really like your videos and your channel!! Can`t stop watching them actually. And the narrators voice is smooth and pleasant to listen to. Keep up with the good work! Thumbs up!!!
Awesome stories, we really enjoy them, and the stories are from all sides, amazing how brave and willing people can achieve spectacular results.

Not saying that Yarnhub’s quality was bad, but it went from great to perfection with the animation quality just holy god
The Bri'ish: Ah, either they gonna attack from the air or with boats and they gonna blow up when they crash to us
The Tourist Boats: They never expected underwater explosions below the hull
