Italian Soldier WW2

Italian infantry in the Second World War fought in Europe, North Africa, and East Africa under difficult and often changing conditions. Equipment, transport, and supply limitations placed burdens on formations operating far from industrial bases. After the September 1943 armistice, Italian troops served on opposing sides, making date, affiliation, and uniform important when identifying a specific soldier. The Italian army included specialist formations such as Bersaglieri and Alpini as well as ordinary line infantry, with varied missions and equipment. Overseas campaigns could stretch supply and medical services severely. The Carcano rifle family equipped much of the infantry. Its soldiers fought at El Alamein and during the disastrous winter retreat from the Soviet Union.
