In an Italian book about the events in the area after Sept. 8, I read that part of one of the Div. Regiments was recovering/reorganizing from the losses suffered earlier on in the year during a rather long Italo-German anti partizan operation. I could be more precise (but the book, dealing with late...

Yes but as I have already written here: http://forum.axishistory.com/viewtopic.php?t=69322 the only Italian Armed Forces branch that actually had an Aspirante rank was the Regia Marina with its Aspirante Guardiamarina (the lowest of its Officer's rank). All the other branches (R. Esercito, Carabinie...

I am most certainly making a big mistake but the "Savoia" one is being called "the last Cavalry charge" because it involved a Btl. size unit (Gruppo Squadroni, being a Squadrone a Company size unit) that charged the enemy as if in the XVIII century... you know with the orders lik...

Thank you very much. About the "phantom" Battallion: from what I've read it was not an ENR unit. It must have been a R.E. unit at the beguinning. I suppose that it became an ENR unit after Sept, 8th, 1943. All I found (in a web site of which I have long lost the address, I only copied the ...
