Sure. The theme of my new podcast is Italian-American Alt-Right so I figured MussoliniDidNothingWrong would be a good episode.

lol yeah, I hate to admit it but he did.
He did big time
The good things he did he was forced into very late into the situation by Hitler.
well, in the beginning he did really well for Italy.
and then (((they))) stepped in
If he would have stayed isolated, never invaded africa and just worked on building italy, he could've been fine.
yeah.
same old story for the past 6 million years ;_;
The relationship between Mussolini and Hitler fucked both of them in my opinion.
I heard Hitler thought of Italy as untermensch
but no citations
Nah, Hitler had a man crush on Mussolini.
That was his hero
i mean have you seen his jaw line
He pissed away tons of money, soldiers, resources, everything to keep bailing him out and saving his ass even after Mussolini was a dick and was clearly distrusting of Hitler.
I mean, Hitler did kill Mussolini's good friend Dollfuss for almost no reason.
He wanted Austria to be enveloped as part of the fatherland.
not very well read on dofins, what happened there?
fair enough
Pretty much, Dollfuss refused to join the reich. He wanted to do his own thing. So Hitler or someone within the reich staged a coup and shot him in the face.
We must unite the germanic people under one banner
I believed they tried to shoot him 3 times and survived being shot twice.
damn
Dollfuss was a tough little bastard.
was that seperate attempts or was he like Rasputin
Obviously, Hitler at least respected little Austria because he didn't just march in like elsewhere. Despite being a tiny little state, Dollfuss built quite the formidable little regime.
separate attempts
He did grow up there, I doubt many would steamroll their homeland with tanks
true
I wonder if the reich would have fared better or worse if they left austria alone
better
It was a bad move
Apparently though, Hitler didn't give the order. Goebbels letters to his associates said that he was with Hitler the entire time and didn't know anything about it. He also said he never heard anything but positive sentiments from Hitler about Dollfuss.
So, who knows what actually happened.
Could've been a (((mistake)))
