Just finished "Sette rubli per il cappellano", WWII eastern front, written by a military chaplain. The final fight of Btg Saluzzo, Alpini, at the end of January 1943 and the years of prisony. Now I'm started with "Last Laurel, the German defence of Upper Silesia", by Georg Gunter.

I return "ab ovo" to the initial subject of the topic. There were many Italian divisions that fought proudly on all war fronts, but I think that the Alpini Divisions were the best Italian troops. Despite the inadequacy of the equipments and the utilization of the Alpini mountain Divisions ...
