HISTORY OF THE ALPINI IN THE SECOND WORLD WAR
- The Alpini divisions were deployed on several fronts during the conflict.
- In 1942, the Julia, Tridentina and Cuneense divisions formed part of the Italian expeditionary corps sent to the Russian front.
- After fighting in the defence of the Don front, these units withdrew through the Russian steppe and took part in fierce engagements, including the Battle of Nikolajewka in January 1943.
