Italian Infantry

CREDERE, OBBEDIRE, COMBATTERE! "Believe, Obey, Fight!" was the slogan of the Fascist government of Italy under Mussolini as it entered World War 2 as an Axis member. Italian troops fought in France, North Africa, Eastern Europe, Russia and on other smaller fronts in the war. The Allied invasion of Sicily in 1943 sparked an Italian Civil War with Italy surrendering to the Allies in the spring of 1945.
