The 18th Infantry Division Messina was an infantry division of the Italian Army during World War II. The Messina Division took part in the invasion of Yugoslavia as part of the Italian XVII (Armoured) Corps and captured both Cetinje and Kotor and much of the Royal Yugoslav Navy. It remained in Yugoslavia as an occupying force, stationed in Herzegovina and carried out anti-Partisan operations. The division was disbanded by the Germans after the Italian surrender in September 1943.
