It was 1943, during the Second World War, when an Italian officer, a Japanese imperial officer, and a German officer were captured and placed in a holding cell awaiting Allied interrogation.
The German declared, “My superior strength will withstand any torture. I will reveal nothing.”
The Japanese officer vowed, “I will never disgrace my country by giving up our secrets.”
The Italian sighed, “Well, I’m finished.”
The Allies took the German first. When he was returned the next day, bruised and battered, he admitted, “I failed. I told them everything.”
Next they took the Japanese officer. Two days later he was brought back in terrible condition. He confessed, “I have shamed the Emperor. I revealed all our secrets.”
Finally, the Italian was taken—already crying and begging for mercy. Two weeks passed with no word. When they finally dragged him back, barely alive, the guard remarked, “Unbelievable. The other two talked immediately, but the Italian refused to say a single word.”
They threw him back into the cell, and the German and Japanese officers rushed over, demanding to know how he had resisted.
The Italian replied, “Mamma mia, I wanted to tell them everything… but they tied my hands behind my back.”
