Move

Shouldn't this article be moved to some better name? After all it was not a separate war, not even a separate campaign. The Italian forces fought alongside the Germans in their campaign in the USSR, but not as a separate force waging its own war but rather as one of the belligerent sides in the conflict.. I was thinking of something along the lines of History of the Italian Army in USSR. Any better ideas? //Halibu tt 15:14, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

Go for it ;) (Deng 15:18, 7 April 2006 (UTC))

Ok, change name but keep in mind this a VERY important page of history for us in Italy. We never forgot the fate of those Alpini.User:Basil II 22:27, 18 June 2006 (CET)

When (if?) this article gets retitled, remember that "Army" would exclude naval and air force aspects. The Regia Marina participated in the Black Sea - I don't know about the Regia Aeronautica. Folks at 137 07:56, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

Moreover, shouldn't it be "Italian war in THE Soviet Union"? --Taraborn 17:14, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Note : CSIR wasn't equipped with Semoventi da 47/32, they where assigned to 3rd PADA fast division after the expansion of the italian effort with the ARMIR. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 147.162.175.250 (talk) 08:36, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

Concerning This being an army and the inclusion of the naval and air force elements. I am not sure about the Italian naval forces on the Black Sea, but it is my understanding that they were separate from the CSIR or the ARMIR. Naval forces are not mentioned in this article. The air force contingent was an integral part of the CSIR and ARMIR. Will check on the Semoventi da 47/32. That was information already in Misplaced Pages. The sad part is that it would not have mattered much if they did have them. Cheers! Mkpumphrey (talk) 15:41, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

Not only that, but the Italians were not in the USSR! They were fighting to desolve it, so really where they were, there was no USSR authority over the occupied territory. The better name for the article would be Italian participation on the Eastern Front. This covers all Arms and Services, and even includes the few Italians serving in Finland for a few months.--mrg3105 (comms) If you're not taking any flak, you're not over the target. 22:32, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
