Hi,
I am trying to find more information about locations and 'war path' of the unit my great-grandfather was a part of.
I have his military papers (matricola) which I am attaching in this message.
He was born near Labin, Istria, Croatia then Italy. Matricola was obtained from archivio di stato di Trieste.
As I understand it, he was a part of 28th infantry regiment, 2nd bridge company, he was captured in may 1943 by Allies and was POW in England, please correct me if I am wrong. Haven't been able to find much information about location during the war of his infantry unit and none on the company. From the stories of my grandmother (his daughter) he was in some sort of aviation unit, but not as a pilot.
I would be grateful if someone can direct me to source of information on the internet or a book about war diaries of Italian units in North Africa (preferably in english).
Thank you!
