    So often the only thing we hear about the Mafia is its ruthless gangland activities, never about its involvement and how instrumental it was during World War II.
    Thank you, Timeline for presenting this aspect of the Mob!

      The MIC? Or Tammany Hall ? They're right next to DC and have ports also routes to Major cities in the Eastern Boards the 5 points in NY is a different Mob but what's the difference? Vermont? 😂

    I remember reading about the mob's influence in the invasions of Sicily and Italy when I was a young teen. I couldn't believe it was true! Of course, as I got older and was able to understand things better, I came to realize that sometimes nations play marbles with other nations that are normally on the opposite side of their beliefs and philosophy because the sacrifice for both would be catastrophic if they refused to accept the new reality. In this case, the world was at war and there was a good chance that the Allies might not be victorious.

    Claiming he won the war is ridiculous. He played a small part in Sicily, which was a small part of the Italian front, which was a small part of the war in Europe, which was only half of WW2. As for his contribution to the New York harbour, not sabotaging the war effort doesn't count as actually helping, or if the Normandie sinking was indeed an accident, then having dock workers be careful to avoid any further accidents is only a small help.

    It was the other war around: How did the Mafia become enabled internationally as a result of WW2? A surprising answer for a peaceful country.
    Between 1946 and 1950, the three big Mafia groups in Italy and Sicily, the Cosa Nostra, D'hangreta and the Camorra, sent many members to Australia as refugees. They did the same to the USA. But in Australia, they thrived quietly and exist today in mainly legitimate businesses, but it was not always that way. They engineered a river of washed cash to flow to their new countries and used it to buy into certain industries that were vulnerable to intimidation. These were wine, automotive, transport, construction and fruit and vegetables.
    Today, each family thrives and is run by a third generation of sons, but they still take orders from and send money back to their families in the home countries. I could name names, but that would be a death sentence. For them secrecy is everything.

    When Italy was losing badly trying to colonize Ethiopia, massive amount of Italians (some Mafia aligned) living in America signed up to fight for a country they left behind. On the other hand, when bIack Americans tried to do the same for Ethiopians, US gov blocked them.

    "ci" in Italian is pronounced "chi" not "shi." Luciano rose to prominence by rubbing out my cousin Joe "The Boss" Masseria. The mayor of NY was not named Flores but rather Fiorello, and La Guardia is pronounced with a "wa" sound not like "Guard," which everyone in NY knows.
