1st Mountain Infantry Division Superga

1st Mountain Infantry Division Superga was an infantry division of the Italian Army during World War II. It was formed in 1940, and was part of the Italian I Corps during the Italian invasion of France. Mountain Divisions are not to be confused with the "Alpini" specialized mountain troops. The Mountain divisions had pack horse artillery instead of the usual towed type.

Action
On 24 June 1940 the Division attacked the Ouvrage Pas du Roc in the Alpine Line. Supported by its neighbor, Ouvrage Arrondaz and others, the fort repelled the attack. The Division was reorganized for the planned invasion of Malta but was instead sent to Tunisia in November 1942. It was destroyed in May 1943 fighting against the British forces in the Tunisia Campaign.
