very interesting, thanks for posting it for us.
what did your father do during the war (squadron? etc)
I don't pretend to be an expert but my rough translation goes:
"For three years the Fascists have repeated to you that Great Britain was dead. Today without warning they say that the situation for Italians is serious and that the fate of your Native land is in danger.
Who has betrayed your Native land? Mussolini, who without provocation, declared war on Great Britain. Who has made you join the Barbarians? who has sacrificed your sons in Russia? Mussolini, creator of the Rome-Berlin Axis. While not joining Rommel in Alexandria – he prefers the tropical climate and has run to Benghazi.
Six Italian Divisions have been abandoned and captured in the Desert after having been stripped of half its transportation to help the Nazis in their escape. The Anglo-Americans are now in Tunisia. Every Italian city is within the range of Allied aircraft.
The Germans have been caught up in Russia. The Russian winter will take care of them. Hitler wants more Italians in order to make headway in his Russian campaign.
The recent events in African demonstrate to you the value of this anti-historical alliance with the Barbarians. You have been stripped, sold, and sacrificed for the megalomania of Mussolini. For this the self-confident Sibilia of Venice Palace has sold your martyrdom.
