Italian Paracadutisti paratrooper infantry section

*Note: This is the first of two Paracadutisti paratrooper infantry detachments. Each contains unique sculpts and is therefore ideal for mixing and matching to give your army a greater variety of poses. You can find the second part here.*

The Italian paratroopers were tough men, often poorly supplied and supported, but they fought and died bravely where they stood and did not give up.

Folgore (Lightning) and Nembo (Nimbus) were the two airborne divisions that fought bravely for Mussolini and later for the Italian Social Republic (RSI) until the armistice between Italy and the Allies. Even then, large parts of Nembo sided with the Germans and became the base of the German 4th Parachute Division, which was one of the last Italian units to surrender in 1945.
