The Italian Army 1940-45 (1) : Europe 1940-43 Paperback / softback
by Philip (Author) Jowett
Illustrated by Stephen Andrew
Part of the Men-at-Arms series
Paperback / softback
Description
At its peak the Italian Army contributed 2.5 million troops to the Axis war effort.
English-speaking readers tend to think of this army in terms of the North African campaign; but far more Italian troops served in other theatres.
They invaded, and later bore the major burden of occupying, the Balkan countries; and Italy sent 250,000 troops to fight on the Russian Front.
In this, the first of a three-part study, Philip Jowett covers the European theatre including Russia from 1940 to Italy's armistice with the Allies in 1943.
Many interesting uniforms, a number of them new to most readers, are meticulously illustrated by Stephen Andrew.
