Keep in mind that in addition to the units present in AS throughout the course of the conflict there were independent units formed both with normal L tanks and with flamethrower L tanks especially in the Balkans..... therefore we need to examine these photos carefully before saying where they...

yes Jeff is right the habit of giving a nickname to the individual tanks was the spontaneous will of the individual tank drivers and did not have a confirmation of the unit.... as for the other photos the ones with the square symbols and large numbers are shown badges on tanks during large...

The Savoy Grenadier Brigade Command was dissolved together with the other undivided brigade commands following the entry into force of the Pariani order, while the two grenadier regiments were placed under the direct command of the Division Command. In fact it would seem that before returning to...

Indeed I will say more I am almost certain that those are Prince Umberto, the prefect Giacone, senior army officers, hierarchs and soldiers lined up in front of the government building in Littoria on the occasion of the ceremony of the delivery of the flag to the 10th regiment of the Grenadiers...

The 65th Grenadier Division of Savoy had a partially different composition from the other Italian infantry divisions of the time. Formed by veterans of the various Italian colonial campaigns of the period before the war, it was composed like the other Italian infantry divisions of the time of...
