Bolt Action: Italian Alpini Mountain Troops

Description: Little Big Wars Store Contact Little Big Wars Follow Little Big Wars Bolt Action: Italian Alpini Mountain Troops - WLG 402015803 Bolt Action: Italian Alpini Mountain Troops Known as Le Penne Nere (the black feathers), after the distinctive raven feather in their headgear, the Alpini are the Italian Army’s elite specialists in mountain warfare. Created by Royal decree no. 1056 in 1872, they are the oldest mountain specialists in the world. In 1935, the Italian fascist government under Mussolini reorganised the Alpini into six divisions and sent three of them to fight on the Eastern Front alongside the Germans against the Soviet Union. However, the Germans deployed these elite troops (trained and equipped for mountain combat against infantry) along the flat plains of the Don River facing tanks. Despite this, the tenacious Alpini were able to escape encirclement and survive. During the war, Italian Alpini divisions saw combat in Albania, France, Greece, and Yugoslavia, as well as in the Soviet Union and even as far afield as East Africa. After the armistice in 1943, the 3rd Alpini Division joined the Allied cause while the 4th Alpini Division continued to fight alongside Germany. This package contains 30 Alpini Miniatures with assorted weapon configurations, such as M91/41 Rifles, M91/38 Carcano Cavalry Carbines, M38A Beretta SMGs, M38 Carcano Varbines, M1934 9mm Beretta Pistols, Breda M30 LMGs, and Combat Knives, Bases, one Assembly Leaflet, and Full-Colour Waterslide Decals.
