5:08 the italian blackshirt officer speaks with a Northern Italian accent, while the two soldiers speak in sicilian dialect between each other and in italian with sicilian accent to the officer. It's a pretty neat detail that can go unnoticed. Officer: "What the hell is he saying, who does he think he is?" Soldier: "He is really Don Calò... *sicilian dialect I don't understand" Officer: "Who is that? Do you know him?" Soldier: "Everybody knows him. Don Calò is a man of honor" Officer: "It's a stupid american trick, don't tell you actually believe him!" Soldier: "No he ACTUALLY is Don Calò. Sometimes you should listen to the advices of us locals... Shall we surrender?"
There's an old game have similar gameplay like this called Freedom Fighters, it's about fictional/alternate world where the Soviets invade the US. It's quite good imo
I appreciate this game for featuring the Italians Finally someone remembered that WW2 Games isn't always about fighting Germans or the Japanese. I've never seen any other WW2 game that features the Other Axis Factions Also Interesting detail they put is how the Blackshirts speak in some Mainland Italian while the civilians speaks their native Sicilian dialects (according to my Italian Friends)
8:10-8:18 One minor mistake. Although General Patton was indeed involve in the Invasion of Sicily. The 504th PIR of the 82nd Airborne Division was not under Patton's command (Patton Commanded the 7th Army at the time was made of the 1st, 3rd and 45th Division). He should have said "Got the medal from General Ridgeway himself". But then again Most people won't knows who General Mathew Ridgeway was...
An underrated mission. I was really hoping they would've repeated the format of opening in an war for Mafia 3, would've been cool to have seen Vietnam. But alas, this suffices. It works really well with Vito's story, and really highlights the power of the mob. "He's a war hero!"
They originally were where they planned missions even one before he comes home. But if I had to guess they wondered why four or five missions were going to be set from Sicily to Battle of the Bulge which doesn't involve crime. Not adding that would've taken more time to make. But it would've been interesting though
Well... The Italian fascists and the Nazis were ideologically almost the same. Maybe they weren't as radical and not as anti-Semitic, but the rest was identical
@@Voucher765 the americans allied with the mafia and now the mafia still torments italy till this day, and to think americans really think they liberated italy lmao
Also explains his combat ability as Vito would've been made 4 combat jumps and participated in around 6 different campaigns if you follow the 504th's history. They are know as "Devils in Baggy Pants'.
Assuming Vito recovery from the explosion not too long. He would've made another jump into Salerno, Anzio,and Holland. Would've had 4 Mustard stains on his jump wings which is a very astonished accomplishment in the Airborne community. Most of the 504th PIR didnt jump into Normandy. He likley got wounded during the Battle of the Bulge as "Home Sweet Home" takes place in February 1945.
@Aveteran Player It was stated that there was one head who got really deep into the history and wanted to go further, but due to constraints was pulled back. After BoB, the 101st became the premiere Airborne unit to the public with people forgetting that the 82nd AB was America's first combat Airborne unit and made more jumps than the 101st ever did. Either way it's very likley to be cannon to think Vito did participate in 4 combat jumps and faught in Sicily, Italy, and Europe from 1943 - 1944.
At one in the game's development it was supposed to be featured which Vito was sent home, He likely got wounded in the Bulge in c December 1944 or Jan 45.
There's an old rumour says that Mafia 2 was supposed to have more Missions about Vito's experience on WW2, but it was cut because this was a Mafia game I don't know if the rumour's are true, but i'm intrested to have more WW2 Missions in Mafia 2 tbh
@aveteranplayer6403which is funny as many of the old members in the mob were originally from Italy who emigrated to avoid persecution by Mussolini. I’ve always liked those mob characters who care deeply about the community like real life gangster franky Yale who donated money to build churches in Brooklyn and used his booze trucks to carry coal for family’s who couldn’t afford the heat, and he never asked for anything in return because the person asking was the local padre
I was pretty sure that's when Vito got wounded as "Home Sweet Home" is set in Febuary 1945 and he spent some time in the hospital. Probably got wounded in Dec 1944
@Aveteran Player 🇺🇦 I'm guessing Vito had a pretty severe wound and was recovering stateside. Asked for furlough to head home for awhile. If he was recovering in Europe, then he would have no chance of coming home for leave.
@Aveteran Player 🇺🇦 It's also never clarified how severe Vito's wounds were. I know a WW2 vet who was discharged for a lost lung in Italy and was working as a Police Officer and laborer. Lived for 70 plus years. Vito also had wounds sustained from that tank blast in mission 1 which definitely hit him
I remember playing that mission in a game store, the game store allow us to purchase game hours to play in any consoles. Everyone was asking me, “What WW2 game is that?” Lol.
What sucks is if they allowed the devs to fully flesh out the game, we would of got many more missions including the entire Sicily campaign, with even a WW2 open world segment....
As much as I remember, it was true that the talians did surrender to the Americans. Lots of them had relatives from America according to Simple History.
The Mafia helped the US government and the Army take down Mussolini, This was because of his crackdown against the Mob when he came to power in the 1920s and 30s
I’m surprised that they skipped the detail that Scarletta’s unit, the 504th Parachute Infantry Regiment, the flak that he mentions they got hit with was from the Allied Fleet firing on the planes, thinking they were German bombers. The friendly fire aspect ads a lot of tragedy to the whole story, and is true to life. 200 or so paratroopers died that night from being shot out of the sky by their own damn ships. Also surprised that they didn’t put the iconic 82nd Airborne Division insignia on his shoulder, as the 504th was part of the 82nd
Wow, Italians actually speaking Italian and not one-liners with a stereotypical accent. As an Italian who plays US videogames, I'm awfully surprised and pleased
Can we appreciate Vito is badass? The dude shot several dozen Nazis, blew up a machine gunner, made a real hell in the city - and yet he is 18 years old at this moment and this is his first year in the war.
The va for the italian soldiers are absolutly fantastic! You have the commander speaking with a centre north accent, meanwhile the common soldiers alternate between dialect and italian with a strong sicilian accent! Better than 99.9 % of other games and Hollywood movies!
@Aveteran Player 🇺🇦 No, he is an Italian viewing the war from the American side. I think this mission would have been more fun had it been played on his own side
its rare to see anyone other then america, britain, german and russian that's because of the current western mythology of WW2 being a simplistic war of "evil germany wanting to take over the world and heroic britain and america saved the day". When the reality is alot more complex, especially when Britain actually tried to court Italy as an ally against Germany before war broke out. And I actually just thought that Britain spent most of their war against Germany fighting against Italy, so that's also an embarrassing part of the story lol

Actually sicilian Mafia helped much the allies during the operation Husky (invasion of Sicily).Reasons are that Al Capone had a secret agreement with US government to be released in exchange of helping the Allies with his sicilian "cousins", and that Mafia hated Mussolini and his fascists,as they hunted Mafia when they came to power.

Sicilian Lenguage
This little chapter of Mafia 2 is a better portrayal of WW2 than Vanguard.
Vito's plan was to ask the Sicilians if "Do you Speak Americanese" and his plan was "Shoot Fascist. They die".

Atleast the trailer gave it away immediately. If you bought the game then you’re the fool.
