Hopefully not from first hand experience, I tend to think of it more like having your kid or dog wake you up at 3 am on a work day and after going back to sleep your alarm wakes you up just to walk into the Kitchen and realize your out of coffee
"However, the Italian forces fought continually to keep the flanks of Army Group South intact. The 8th Army fought back a Russian counteroffensive around Serafimovich on the Don. The counteroffensive was designed to stall the German advance on Stalingrad by pulling German units in to support the supposed weaker Axis allies. It failed, and in the end, the Italians actually launched a counter attack. It was one of the last pure cavalry attacks of the war, and resulted in the destruction of 2 Soviet battalions, and the loss of 500 as prisoners, along with various arms and equipment. Italian forces were outnumbered more than three to one, yet they prevailed. Despite the lack of sufficient equipment and supplies, always a problem for Italian units on the Eastern Front, they were able to successfully fight back Russian counterattacks and proved their worth in combat."
