About this product
Product Information
This volume by leading Italian historian, Pier Paolo Battistelli, looks at the elite and special forces units of the Italian Army during World War II (1939-1945). This includes a vast array of troop types including paratroopers, assault engineers, sea-landing and swimmer units, long-range recce and ski units, and even hand-picked Fascist 'Mussolini' units. It also delves into the specialist tank and armoured units that were created to emulate the German armoured units. The Italian units discussed here enjoyed mixed success but the volume does draw attention to the incredible hard fighting done by some, particularly in the deserts of North Africa and the frozen wastelands of Russia. Illustrated with rare archival photographs and specially commissioned artwork this is a fascinating insight into a little-studied aspect of Axis forces.

The estimated time of arrival was changed. It was originally purchased on April 28 and shipped the following day on April 29 (not May 6 ... that was changed later for some reason). Anyway it arrived April 16, seventeen days after its "original" shipping date (April 29) and as advertised, is in "Brand New" condition. In the end, it arrived on time and I got what I asked for. Thank You. ✌️
