  • The 2nd Mountain Infantry Division Sforzesca was an Infantry Division of the Italian Army during World War II. The Division was mobilized in June 1940, for the Italian invasion of France. It took part in the Greco-Italian War in 1941. It was then chosen to be part of the Italian Expeditionary Corps in Russia in June 1942, and was transferred to the Eastern front. It suffered heavy losses in early 1943 and was withdrawn to Italy for reforming in March. It absorbed the 157th Infantry Division Novara, which had been a garrison division, and elements from other units. It surrendered to the German forces in September 1943. Mountain Divisions are not to be confused with the "Alpini" (specialized mountain troops). The Mountain divisions had pack horse artillery instead of the usual towed type.
