I noticed no one wanted to cover this on Youtube and I can see why.
BUT it's so interesting, I thought why not.
There's not a lot of info so I tried the best I can while making an entertaining video that ties a little bit with Italian East African Theater of World War II.
While researching, it was a surprise that the Germans took part in all of these bigger battles.
Sorry about the bad mic, I did not realize I was recording with a webcam mic
