Heroes of El Alamein Chapter 1 : FOLGORE! 1/72

The epic of the Folgore at El Alamein and during the North African Campaign stands as one of the most significant moments in Italian military history during World War II. The Folgore Paratrooper Division, one of Italy's elite forces, distinguished itself through its courage and determination during the defense of El Alamein in Egypt in 1942.

The North African Campaign (1940-1943) saw Italy, allied with Germany, fighting against British and Commonwealth forces for control of North Africa. The Folgore was engaged in the most critical battles, including the famous Battle of El Alamein, where Italian and German troops tried to hold back the Allied advance. Despite logistical challenges, numerical inferiority, and harsh combat conditions, the Folgore managed to hold its position for days, demonstrating extraordinary bravery.

The paratrooper division, in particular, stood out for its ability to fight under extreme conditions, with a strong sense of camaraderie and resilience. After retreating from the El Alamein lines, the Folgore continued to fight in other African operations, marking an important chapter in Italy's military history during World War II.

This epic represents not only a testament to the courage of the Italian troops but also the symbolic value of the Folgore as an elite unit that left an indelible mark on the World War II.
