Hi Amateur,
Unluckily we are just two here. I have tried to find it without a result. You must know that I am looking for foreign volunteers´s newspapers. Or I don´t know to look for it. Maybe you can give us the answer and make another question.
With best regards
Arto

Well. I can reveal the answer alright. But I don't see a point in giving a new question, though. If you feel like it, go ahead, my friend.

However, the story behind the newspaper's title is the following. Soviet Air Force bombarded Tallinn, the capital of Estonia, most severely on 9 March 1944. Unfortunately the national opera theater was hit and destroyed among other civilian targets. Someone wrote: "Vengeance Will Rise from the Ruins!" on the actual ruins of the opera theater. This slogan became so popular that it was used as the official title of the newspaper of the 20th Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS (1st Estonian).

San Marco is the italian Marine Infantry. Who are these guys, they wear the Lion of Venice on their lapels, that's why I thought them to be from the San Marco regiment....?

congratulations !

The Faisceau Republicain of Paris (branch of RSI) recruit french from italian origin. Beginning 44 sent to the Base of Betasom ( italian submarines for Atlantic). Commanded by Enzo Grossi. In march 44 was created Bataillon Longobardo with volunteers. On june 44 volunteers join Venice to form the IIIe compagnie of the bataillon Fulmine of the Xe MAS at Ivrea.

Now it's your turn.

best
