Question

OK so in WW2 Why did the Germans not betray Italy like how they did the Soviet Union (now known as Russia)

Answer 1

On 22 May 1939, Italy and Germany signed the Pact of Steel joining both countries in a military alliance. The pact was really designed for a "joint war against France and Britain", though the Italian hierarchy held the understanding that such a war would not take place for several years.

Hope this might help, so sorry if not!
