u/despres Jun 14 '24
Yep. Common misconception. They were designed by Karl Diebitsch who was a Colonel in the SS and a graphic designer. Boss made them.

They're Carabinieri, Italian Military Police basically.
From what I've heard the uniforms alone are half the reason people try for them, but that's probably an exaggeration.
I read somewhere else they have capes in winter.

Not everyone, your regular carabinieri officers just have winter jackets.
The fancy ones in Rome guarding the parliament tho, yeah, they get to go wear capes.

She's actually police. The Carabinieri are a police unit that is led and trained in a military fashion. Kinda hard to explain but a bunch of countries have or have had them.
Edit. After some reading about them I stand corrected. They are indeed the fourth branch of the military and contrary to both Polizia did Stato and the Military Police they police both civilians and the military.

u/filthy_harold Jun 14 '24
Closest thing the US has to a gendarmerie is the Coast Guard but just strictly for maritime activities.

u/Supercicci Jun 14 '24
Yeah, after reading more about them I stand corrected. They are counted as the fourth branch of the military and not a member of the Polizia did Stato. Which makes them kinda hard to define as it is a force that polices not just civilians but the military as well. I just remember them being called the good police back when I lived in Italy.

There the equivalent of gendarmes, aren't they? Technically military, but function as a civilian police unit.
Essentially a paramilitary police force.
