112th Milizia Legion
Mussolini inspecting the 112th Black Shirts Legion. Behind him, the most decorated soldier of Italy, Ettore Muti. February 1940 (Italy was not yet at war). Note the rare helmets mod.39. It probably would had become the standard helmet in 1943 (when the Italian Army would be fit for a great war), if the war had not burst before.
