The 1°
Gruppo Carri L “San Giusto”, created in 1934, was one of the
first armoured cavalry units of the Italian army. As part of the 1ª
Divisione Celere (first fast division) “Eugenio di Savoia” it
participated in the entire Yugoslav campaign until the Italian armistice
with the Allied powers of September 1943.
After the armistice one of its squadrons, commanded by Captain Agostino
Tonegutti, remained in arms: after moving to the Friuli region in North-Eastern
Italy it was re-equipped and integrated into the army of Mussolini’s
Repubblica Sociale Italiana (RSI). Under the name of the Gruppo Squadroni
Corazzati “San Giusto” the unit fought in the region then known
as Operationszone Adriatisches Küstenland (“Adriatic Coastal
Area” Zone of Operation) until the end of the war.
This book describes the entire unit history with the help of around 140
photographs, most of them never seen before.
