Giovanni Messe (10 December 1883 – 18 December 1968) was an Italian field marshal and politician.[1] In the Second World War, he was captured in Tunisia but made chief of staff of the Italian Co-belligerent Army after the armistice of September 1943. Later, he was an elected representative in the Italian Senate. He is considered by many to have been the best Italian general of the war.
