Does anyone have any information on any C.A Gruppo(i) or even Compagnia that served with, or was attatched to, Divisione Littorio, any time during 1942?

Thanks. :)

8th btr c.a 20mm /132th rgt art. that served as unit corp with XX CdA;

Any thing else?

I had heard of a CDVI Gruppo (a.k.a V Gruppo) but have no idea of it's composition. I have also heard of a 406th Batteria. Are they one and the same I wonder?

The Littorio file card is one of those I pulled out and put into another stack for further updating and checking; so treat this as unconfirmed info, and it is a bit confusing, so bear with me:

Initially I show the 133. & 143. AT cos (47/32), also referred to as 1. & 2. cos. I also show two 20mm btrys, but they are only numbered 7 & 8, that is, within the art. reg. numbering sequence. In March, '42, I show the DLIV & DLVI Articelere Btns joining the division, each with 16 Semo 75/18s. Also, the IV/21. Art. Reg. was sent from Italy and was only temporarily attached to the division.

I also have notes with the infamous "?" regarding a 5. 20mm btry and a 406. 20mm btry. The XXIX. AA Btn with 88/55 guns was also apparently attached, and perhaps even made a permanent part of the division at some in the Fall of '42. It "could" be that I have more info in other notes, and that's why I pulled the card.

I will watch this space for developments/confirmation!

I have them as arriving in July/August 1942 with just 10 Semovente each. With another 5 each arriving Sep 1942?

I too have a "?" !!

Who do we think is right?

I am also still searching for 20mm Compagnia c.a within Littorio from it's arrival in N.A to September 1942.
Does anyone have any informtion please?

Does anyone have any information on the CDVI Gruppo?

Or any other 20mm c.a Batteria within Littorio during 1942?

Thanks in advance.
