  • The 33rd Mountain Infantry Division Acqui () was a Mountain Infantry Division of the Italian Army during World War II. The Acqui Division was mobilized for war in October 1939, and took part in the Battle of France. It was later sent to Albania to take part in the Greco-Italian War, and stayed in Greece as an occupation force on the islands of Corfu, Lefkada, Zakynthos and Cephallonia. Following the Italian surrender in September 1943, thousands of soldiers from the division were murdered on the islands during Operation Achse, in what became known as the Cephallonia massacre. One of the largest prisoner of war massacres of the war, and one of the largest-scale German atrocities to be committed by Wehrmacht troops, this event provided the historical background to the novel Captain Corelli’s Mandolin, which later became a Hollywood film.
