In pop culture, Italy in WW2 is always regarded as useless and burden to the Germany. Despite many failures and incompetence Italy had, how about I tell you that Italy isn't actually useless but the opposite? You should know that Hitler admired and inspired by Benito Mussolini at least in the first years. To discuss the moments where Italy was useful we need to look back to Interwar Period where Italy contributed much. First is Sudeten Crisis, at that Hitler really prepared for war against Czechoslovakia and Allies to take Sudetenland. The Allies still didn't want the war to start yet, so they arrange a meeting in Munich to discuss the Sudeten Crisis. Germany, France, Britain and Italy was present in this meeting. Hitler's intentions was clear thet he wants Sudetenland. But Chamberlain (PM of Britain) don't want to sacrificed Czechoslovakia and rejected the demand.
