Hi Well, I've read all 6 volumes of the abridged version of Churchill's war memoirs and can't think that he particularly had a nickname for them. Certainly held the Italians in contempt though. What more could you expect of a guy trying to win a war. Phil Churchill referred to Italy as the "soft underbelly" of Europe. By this he meant that this would be the weakest place to attack Germany. The Americans believed that Churchill was trying to keep the focus on the Mediterranean area in order to protect the interestes of Britian.
