Italian Army Guastatori Destruction Group by Warlord Games

Italian Army Guastatori Destruction Group

At the beginning of the war, the Italian army lacked assault troops capable of storming enemy fortifications. The performance of the pioneer units in the German Blitzkrieg demonstrated to the Italians the need for such units, leading to the creation of the Guastatori del Genio, which began training units at the end of 1940.

In early 1941, these specialized engineers fought in North Africa, and by mid-1942 they were also deployed on the Eastern Front. During the Sicilian Campaign, the 11th Guastatori Battalion was subordinated to the Livorno Division and fought alongside it throughout the entire campaign.
