Hi all,
i need help from the forum hivemind. At my local club (Gruppo Ludico Aglianese italy) we are planning a late war scenario, portraying the fighting at Case Grizzano (a small center near Bologna) on 19.4.45. It was a minor but bloody action that saw the italian paratropers of the Folgore combat group fighting agaist their ex comrades of the 1st fallschirmjager division.
We have gathered some documentation (wikipedia, ospreys, some italian pubblications) but we have discovered that the informations about the fighting are scarce, as thoose about the italian paratropers/german fallschirjagers at that time.
So, i ask if you have any informations about the italian folgore division/1st fallschirmjager div on april 1945 (oob, uniform, equipments, accounts exc). In particular i wonder if anyone could have the second volume of the History of the 1st fallschirmjager division published by Schiffer on 2007, since it should mention the Case Grizzano fighting and could be extremely interesting to read about the german perspective on it.
Thanx for your attention.
