The Italian Army 1940–45 (1)

Europe 1940–43
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.

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 less often found in print, are meticulously illustrated by Stephen Andrew.
