And speaking of the Italians, I believe they actually were the Germans' biggest blunder.
Idk if I'd go as far as THE biggest blunder, but the Italians were an ally on paper only. They offered next to nothing for the Germans and in reality forced them to divert quite a few resources like you mentioned (including some of their most elite tank commanders) to clean-up Italy's mess.
Italy was a joke in WWII.

Watched a program on the war in N.Africa a couple of years ago so I can't remember all the details but I remember them mentioning how little resistance the Italians offered the Americans in N. Africa. As far as many of them were concerned they had no issue with the U.S. and in fact had a lot of family in the U.S.
