Overview

"The goal that we have set ourselves with this series of two volumes, written by four hands, is to give an overall picture of the Divisions formed by the Army of the R.S.I. on the departments employed in the fight against the partisans by the Republican National Army, starting from the last months of 1943, offering a purely military point of view, free from judgments of any kind. The intention to ""continue the war"" had always been present since the beginning of autumn 1943 in the military authorities of the Social Republic. In the course of talks, three Mussolini and Hitler agreed to form a new fascist army, which, in the intentions of the Fuhrer, was to be composed of an army of 10/15 Divisions. In reality only 4 were planned and formed by the Republican National Army: 1st Bersaglieri Division ""Italia"", 2nd Grenadiers Division ""Littorio"", 3rd Marine Infantry Division ""San Marco"", 4th Alpine Division ""Monterosa"". This second volume is dedicated to the ""San Marco"" Division, which operated in Liguria and Garfagnana, against the Allies, until the end of the conflict, and to the ""Monterosa"" Alpine Division."
