I am looking for any information regarding the 502 20mm battery that operated in North Africa 1941-1942 with the Brescia division or even with other units. Thanks Toni

Can anyone help me recognize the ranks of these two officers of the 1st Celere Artillery Regiment (1940), even if they are not very recognizable? Thanks

I am looking for a picture of general Giuseppe Cremascoli com. 27^ div ftr Brescia. Grazie

With regard to Brescia division artillery in november 1941, it was represented (fully motorized) by: 1° rgt Artiglieria Celere “Principe Eugenio di Savoia” su 3 gruppi: I° da 100/17 su 2 btr (1 mancante); II° da 100/17 su 3 btr; III° da 75/27-11 su 2 btr (1 con il solo personale); IV° da...

I suppose I did not thank you. All the best Toni

Hi Jeff that is what I am searching, some records of the italian fascist POW in Coltano. Toni

jwsleser Thanks for the information. In reality I have news that the XXVII btg MG (Brescia) is surrounded and destroyed north of Agedabia, and I was convinced that it had also participated in the defense on the Derna line. Toni

The correct number for the Brescia Machinegun Battalion is XXVII, involved on the Derna line on 25-29 january 1941. Toni

Look for "Operazione Herring" in Wikipedia (in italian)

great maps... thanks a lot.

Can anyone tell me if there are documents that can be consulted about the internees in the Coltano POW camp in Italy? Thanks Toni

I found it in an information left by an italian soldier who left Jugoslavia on 9 september 1943 when he was with 355.i.R. in Monte Nanos near Postumia (so he reported, but maybe the number of regiment is wrong???). Toni

Any notice about the 355th infantry regiment of the italian army dislocated on 8th sept 1943 at Monte Nanos near Postumia? Thanks Toni

I should be very grateful too... Toni

Right Jeff, sometimes even in the same battalion some names are poorly written from one document to another. Bortolo Zambon will be later an important figure of the italian resistance. Toni

The correct name of the general was Bortolo Zambon. Ciao

I found some of my sources with regard to 55° art.: "on 16 june 1940 is transfered from 5a to 10a Armata the 55° Rgt art Savona" cited in M. Montanari, Le Operazioni in A.S., vol. I Sidi el Barrani, parte prima Roma 1990 (two citations on page 67 and one in note 24 p. 159). With regard to I/55...

Many thanks to both of you! Toni

Jeff the map you mention is quite good with respect to other maps I examined, I did not know it and for this I thank you as I did with Andreas. It reports however an error (maybe also others) for example with El-Cheima, positioned about 15 km north of its real position near another trigh as...
