WWII Italian Submariner...
Interesting...
I just saw something about the Italian Submarine fleet in the current issue of Proceedings.
Seems that just before WWII, Italy had one of the largest Submarine fleets, with about 115 boats.
Haven't read much about them, mostly the Germans and British in the Med.
