Více o knize

The narrative delves into the unique role of the "Leonessa" armored group within the Italian Social Republic's armed forces, highlighting its operational significance in anti-partisan warfare. Originating from a pre-armistice armored division loyal to Mussolini, the unit faced challenges after Italy's surrender, including the loss of equipment to German forces. Despite this, many soldiers resisted fighting against former allies, instead seeking weapons and tanks in abandoned barracks to continue their fight alongside the Germans.
