a little strange photos about forgotten heroes: Italian paratrooper of Folgore division (Army of the South) before Operation Herring, the last airborne operation of the Italian Campaign (1945)

 

Excellent picture Jack, you don't see that every day!

 

another strange picture: a fighting priest of R.S.I. Army


look at Beretta MAB-38 machine gun, an excellent weapon hidden in army stores until 1943.... during 1940-1943 soldiers fought whit obsolete mod.91 rifle without any logical reason .... 'cause the corruption of fascist government

 

cool picture : confess yourself or die sinner! . It's interesting to see a padre with an uniform. I beleive I have one on a German death card. Btw we have a great death card section on this forum with many ggod photos there too.

 

This is the Forth bridge during the raid by 1/KG30 on 16/10/39. The two bigger ships are HMS Southampton and Edinburgh, both of which were damaged.

emm sorry for my ignorance but... what's a death card?

 

not photos, but still shows the significance of the battle. For it was the "end" of the IJN.
