Italian Paras during Market Garden?

unfortunately the website is only a presentation of the book, very few words are for arnhem:

"...Assegnati al 2° Btg. Pionieri (Magg. Gestner) combatterono in Ucraina nella zona di Nowgerodka, Jitomir, Baranivka, dove moriva il Comandante Cap. Paolo Paris decorato di MOvm memoria, con numerosi altri Arditi. I superstiti si batteranno ancora nel 1944 a settembre ad Arnhem contro i paracadutisti inglesi...."

in english

"assigned to 2° Btn Combat Engineers (Major Gestner) they fought in Ukraine near Nowgerodka, Jitomir, Baranivka where cpt Paolo Paris (Gold medal for military valor) died whit several other Arditi. The few survivors will fight against british paratroopers in Arnhem on september 1944..."

I will send an eMail to some people for more informations (and of course sources)

 

Thanks at least for that much . I would appreciate that too. Please message me .

 

well, i've found some interesting stuff

First of all, sources of the informations:

Nino Arena - Per l'onore d'Italia, Storia del Rgt. Arditi paracadutisti Folgore della R.S.I. (whit also photos!)
Nino Arena - i Paracadutisti
Italian Army historic office - Studi Storico Militari 1986

Well, the X° rgt Arditi paracadutisti joined 2nd Falshirmjager division after 8th september and operate as recon unit fighting in Ukraine and Netherlands, using SPA jeep. However is more correct consider them italian volunteers in the Wehrmacht than members of RSI army.
I don't think we can know more if we don't read the books....

 

That is some really intresting posts Jack it seems there is always more to learn about Arnhem.

 

Yes there always is I do have to say that this thread is doing better then where I originally saw the info .

 

So they were volunteers rather then RSI? And they were using SPA Jeeps?

 

Did the 8th nembo fight with the allies in filotrano?
