For our english-speaking friends, that are maybe less conversant with Italian teminologies, a "Federale" was the chief of the local Fascist Party Federation (i.e. the local branch of the party). The GAP (Gruppi Azione Patriottica = Patriotic Action Groups) were the partisans' "urban warfare" squads, that were active in targeting prominente fascist leaders for assassination.

And - I hope Oasis will not mind of my intusion in his quiz ;-) - extra points for the names of the "federali" of Milano, Forlì, Ferara and Genova, murdered in similar circumstances (OK, the victims of Milano and Genova were actually Commissioners of the local federation, but it was much the same thing).

I hope again Oasis will not mind my intrusion, but after almost two months it looks like this quiz is ... a bit too difficult! (or the forum-members are a bit too shy :wink: ). So I'll give an answer myself.

The RSI Federali murdered by the GAPs were :
Eugenio Franchini (Bologna)
Iginio Gisellini (Ferrara)
Aldo Resega (Milano)
Antonio Capanni (Forlì)
Silvio Parodi (Genova)

Time now for a new question. Oasis?

Let's try (and it's an easy one, just a quick Internet search will do ;-) )

On September/October 1944 the pro-allies Kingdom of Italy formed three "Divisioni Sicurezza Interna" (Internal Security Divisions) for garrison duties.

Could anybody provide the names? Extra honours for the exact activation dates and the name of the original units the Sicurezza Interna divisions were drawn from.

The Sabauda division changed the name in division Reggio after the referendum Monarchy-Republic in 1946 (the name was too monarchical so took the name of the regiments), sometimes in some sources, in order to simplify, is indicated as Reggio already in 1944. Was this the problem?

Not, you did correctly indicated the names of the SI divisions and the names of the "original" divisions ... only the dates are missing. Two out of three ... ;-)

Great. You are crowned Class One Super Expert on the Sicurezza Interna Divisions. Unlikely that this exalted title will be of any use for you, but who knows :lol:

By the way, AFAIK on Sept 20th 1944 were formed the III and IV Brigata Sicurezza Interna, that were grouped as the Divisione Sicurezza Interna "Aosta" only a few days later (Oct.14th 1944). But I can be wrong, and anyway that's just trifle.

Your turn to ask ...
