The Italian paratroopers were hard men, often poorly supplied and
supported, but fought and died bravely where they stood rather than give
ground.
Folgore (Lightning) and Nembo (Nimbus) were the two airborne
divisions that fought valiantly for Mussolini and, later, the Italian
Social Republic (RSI) until the armistice between Italy and the Allies.
Even then, large elements of Nembo sided with the Germans and became the
basis of the German 4th Fallschirmjäger division, being one of the last
Italian units to surrender in 1945.
