Comments on: Field Marshal Rodolfo Graziani http://comandosupremo.com/graziani.html Documenting the Italian political and military actions of World War Two Wed, 08 Feb 2012 21:26:09 +0100 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Giuseppe Crispi http://comandosupremo.com/graziani.html/comment-page-1#comment-845 Giuseppe Crispi Wed, 10 Aug 2011 05:39:46 +0000 http://comandosupremo.com/?p=383#comment-845 I also think Graziani was a good general. There is some debate that he could have had success in Egypt if he had not hesitated and there is some evidence for that but I tend to come down on the side that he was simply too greatly outmatched in tanks and transport. He also did alot of the 'heavy lifting' in the Abyssinia conquest but did not get much recognition for that. I also think Graziani was a good general.

If my educated guesses are correct, Graziani is descended from the Jewish family of Graziani, which is a branch of the Shaltiel family (which claim descent from Shealtiel, a Biblical character and a descendant of King David), among whose members is General David Shaltiel, a Holocaust Survivor,? and a leader of the Israeli military organization: the Haganah. I am actually a fifth cousin (however many times removed) to David Shaltiel and therefore might be related to Signore Graziani. Interesting.

Graziani survived an assassination attempt on February 19, 1937. A bloody and indiscriminate repression followed. He became known as "the Butcher of Ethiopia". Also in connection with the attempt on his life, Graziani authorized the massacre of the monks of the ancient monastery of Debre Libanos and the large number of pilgrims who had traveled there to celebrate the feast day of the founding saint of the monastery.
