Default Bari harbour and Italian fightback 1943

German troops try to occupy Bari harbor. General Nicola Bellomo, commander of the XII MVSN Zone, forms a group of Italian forces and counter-attacks the German position, with himself personally leading the action. Bellomo joines men of 151st Militia Legion, 9th Engineer Regiment and some sailors, guardie di finanza and carabinieri. Atleast 100 men, more or less, with few support weapons comprise this emeregency Italian force. After two hours of fighting, The Germans were ousted out of Bari. General Bellomo was wounded more than one time in this event.

Interesting. It seems like there is more to the Italians than what we have been exposed to. Must do some more research on them. Thanks Kai

One of the reasons I have been posting so much info on them. Not all were the cowards and buffoons that others make them out to be.
