And yet Caporetto remains a topic often approached with prejudice and superficiality by non-specialist Italian historians, and even more so by foreign historians who have little interest in the Italian war. Many keep writing of Caporetto as a disaster based on just two texts: Hemingway's great historical novel, "A Farewell to Arms", and Lieutenant Rommel's memoirs on the battlefield. A distinguished historian of the two world wars, John Keegan, has written shameful, careless pages on Caporetto, but unfortunately he is far from being the only one. On the other hand, the renewal of studies on the Italian war did not extend to its military dimension; new sectoral contributions remained limited to a national context. Indeed, what is still lacking is a comparative study of the Austro-German success at Caporetto with the great German offensives of 1918 in France, two extraordinary successes achieved with the same techniques.
Giorgio Rochat slaughters John Keegan and tries to spur his fellow italian historians by raising an interesting historiographical question about #WWI. Oh, I love fistfights between military historians. Much safer than the war itself. [English translation in ALT] #kaiserschlacht #caporetto #FWW

24 ottobre-4 novembre 1918: battaglia di Vittorio Veneto ⚔️
Un anno dopo #Caporetto, l'Italia 🇮🇹 è riuscita a risollevarsi. Il generale Armando #Diaz ha riorganizzato l'esercito: morale alto, logistica migliorata, rinforzi alleati. L'Austria-Ungheria è invece al collasso.

#unagiornataparticolare è un programma che consiglio davvero. Aldo Cazzullo è molto bravo e c'è tanto bisogno di ripassare la storia. È incredibile che ci sia ancora una piazza #Cadorna. #caporetto

Thanks to the intelligence provided by Lt. Ljudevit Pivko and his large network of #Czech slavist officers and soldiers, the Italian Army had the concrete opportunity to break through the impassable lines in the #Trentino sector, probably changing the course of the war on the eve of #Caporetto. 2/6🧵

just remembered that in grad school I over-enthusiastically made my own sketch maps of #Caporetto - I can only assume I was procrastinating about real work
