Hi to all, here I´m new :D

Hi, mi name is FACH (or Chilean Air Force, my country) and I am looking for maps of Italian Army operations in WWII, like the battle of Bir-El-Gobi, The second Italian offensive in Albania front, a map of Operazione C3 (Herkules for Germans), etc. For any other info, thanks a lot.

Hi from the country of Ivan Zamorano and Marcelo Salas :lol:

I'm sorry but I've not maps of those operations (well, I should have a good map of Bir el Gobi somewhere.....but I don't remember where).
I can only provide you a general map of the ItalianGreek Campaign: http://www.lasecondaguerramondiale.it/i ... ciait9.jpg.
Certainly you'll find the most accurate maps in the official books about the Italian campaigns of WW2 published by the USSME: http://www.litos.it/esercito_italiano/seconda.html (Mario Montanari, "L’Esercito Italiano nella campagna di Grecia" for Greece and Mario Montanari, "Le operazioni in Africa Settentrionale: Vol. II - Tobruk" for Bir el Gobi). Maybe other Italian members of the forum have those books or good maps.

First of all, sorry for the delay, Drg, but my lawyer´s work doesn´t give it to me too much time :( . About the map, unfortunately I have it a time ago....but thanks anyway. I think a link with maps of Italian operations in IIWW is very necesary, so that could show the Italian´s military battles in the war....info that many people in the web (specially British and U.S.) doesn´t know.

If you could find it the map of Gobi, it could be great, but if you dont...no problem! :)

It could be great if I could make contact with you off board. My mail is [email protected]

Thanks,

:wink: FACH :wink:
