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.
Wow, this is very interesting! Kind of gives a background to the Godfather film, with its story starting post-WW2. Thanks for putting together a well-researched video.
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.
If commercials are going to persist on every timeline video I watch I won't watch anymore and I will not tell my friends or anyone about timeline how does that feel remember you lose one you could possibly lose three or four more and if they go they'll be 10 more to follow that's how you keep your business you treat them right and I pay for no commercials so why did I see your freaking commercial
What makes you say that? This documentary is far from new. At 49:33 it gives the date the documentary was made - MMXI (or 2011). Don't think they were using AI for scripts back then.
They were not “Luciano’s Girls” who testified against him. Misogynistic description of 5000 women he exploited and abused. Those are the words men describing this criminal should be using.

And Mussolini govt was anti mafia. So Allied cause was wise guy’s best bet.

It was a thrilled watching documentary about the mafia exploited by the US during WW2.
It’s Fiorello LaGuardia, not Flores 💐
THE ENEMY OF MY ENEMY....IS MY FRIEND
They helped in Sicily, but little impact in the Italian Campaign.

My history teacher told me about lucky in school I was amazed the government needed his help in ww2😂
Thank you

It’s because it’s got podcast style commercials, so they’re built into the show. I just fast forward through them.

America did the same thing with Jihadists in Bosnia and Kosovo. They paid and supplied Al Qaeda to topple Yugoslavia.
