I am trying to find out the Corps and Divisions of the 11th Army that occupied Greece 1941-43 and the units that garrisoned Rhodes and the Dodecanese Is.
I ve found a referance to a VIII Corps that garrisoned the Peloponnesus.
There were supposed to be 11 Divisions in this Army.
I know that the these Divisions were there in Aug 1943.
Acqui Division (Cephalonia)
33rd ACQUI: 17th, 18th and 317th IR + 33rd AR + 27th CCNN
Pinerolo Division
24th PINEROLO: 13th, 14th and 313th IR + 18th AR + 136th CCNN
Aosta Cavalry Regiment
On Crete at least from 1/43:
51st SIENA: 31st and 32nd IR + 51st AR + 141st CCNN
One additional division was stationed in the Dodecanese Islands one was:
50th Infantry Division "Regina"?
50th REGINA: 9th, 10th and 309th IR + 50th AR + 201st CCNN
Anyone have more or better info? Please Email me or reply here better yet.
Thanks
