In the early days of the Fascist dictatorship in Italy 1928-1944 led by B. Mussolini, (whose decendent still holds a seat in Italian parliament).
All the important military attachés were invited to Rome to see the new Italian army trundle around in wonderful tanks.
They were in fact tractors with wooden tank frames placed over them.

De Valera used similar tactics to trick the emeny in Boland´s mill in 1916, placing volunteers´ hats at the window so the British would think there were more Irish soldiers than there really was.

Mussolini´s cardboard tractor tank tactic entered the psychological warfare handbook and was repeated often.

Alesandra Mussolini direct descendent of Benito is still a socail democratic rep. of the Italian people.

[social democacracy].{Burlosconi entered gov. with Ms Musolini anyone notice the psuedo satire misspelling in 1995}

There are still oligarchies all over Europe who trace direct line to the nineteen thirties.

Cardboard tanks and tractors.

o as if.

The Serbian army used tractors in the same way to trick the USAF.
Readers might recall that the USAF "destroyed" all Serbian tanks, then after the war found that only one had been hit, the others were tractors with wooden tank like frames.

Mr Dillon and farmers of Ireland from the air you seem to have an army.
Pity there are no DeValera´s left to direct your trickery.

o as if who is iosaf. .. .. .do not forget anything please.
