Brazilian Expeditionary Force of WWII

from History Shorts · host History Shorts

Brazil's failure to send troops to fight during the First World War led to an ongoing joke: A snake will smoke a pipe before Brazil goes to war. But by 1944, the soldiers of the Forca Expedicionaria Brasil (Brazilian Expeditionary Force) were more than proud to display the insignia patch of a green snake smoking a pipe as they fought through Italy, pushing back Fascist forces. https://www.patreon.com/c/HistoryShortsPodcast CONNECT @ X Facebook YouTube Find us at www.historyshortspodcast.com Learn more about your ad choices.
