Looking for any info on the Italian defenses of the island of Pantelleria at around the time of the proposed Operation Workshop (Jan '41).

Garrison OOB, Coastal / AAA defenses, etc.

Thanks in advance

Hi,

On the second page is a map with the AA and artillery batteries.

Thanks, that is very helpful

Question - is the map showing the defenses circa Op Workshop (Jan '41) or Op Corkscrew (June '43)?

90/53 guns are later. Most 76/40 guns would have been there from start.
