On March 1944 german decided to form a Landschutz in Istria.
Some hundreds volunteered in and after a brief training in Trieste, they were scattered in many locations as Pinguente, around Monte Maggiore, till near Fiume.
As symbol they adopted the Istrian Goat.

Do you have more infos about?

Possibly It's the homeguard division comanded by Tomislav Sertić. The croatian ustasha goverment wanted to create a unit from Croatians living in Istria. At the end most of the soldiers deserted and joind the partisans. The commander Tomislav Sertić was imprisoned in Trieste because of this.

The lowest part in Croatian is about the desertions and imprisonment of Sertić.
