The X M Blackshirts Battalion was transferred to the Trieste Division. The Regiment distinguished itself in the battle of Bir-El-Gobi: … The Young Fascists ... tasked to defend the small hill known as Bir el Gobi, they fought off repeated attacks by the 11th Indian Brigade and British 7th Armoured Division during the first week of December, 1941. Despite overwhelming odds, they inflicted massive casualties on the Allies and held their ground despite severe hunger and thirst … (John Gooch. Decisive campaigns of the Second World War. Chapter: The North African Campaign). The division received 2 gold medals, 28 silver medals, 48 bronze medals and 103 war crosses for military valour. The survivors entered the X Arditi (133rd Company) and the Sassari division and fought against the Germans in the defense of Rome of September 1943.
