6th February 1943. Cartolina Postale 6th February 1943. Cartolina Postale 1/1 CARTOLINA POSTALE PER LE FORZE ARMATE. Italian propaganda postcard sent from 'COMANDO DIVISIONE ALPINA TAURINENSE' to an address in Rome. Featuring censorship hand-stamps. Ref: 06.02.1943 'La vita sobria dei cittadini conforta i sacrifici del soldato, accresce la potenza della Nazione' (The modest lives of citizens comforts the sacrifices of the soldier, increases the power of the nation) 1st Alpine Division 'Taurinense' (with the hand-stand 'UFFICIO SANITÀ' , the present postcard was most likely sent from the 305th Medical Section that was attached to the division) From Wikipedia: The division participated in the Italian invasion of France in June 1940. On 21st-22nd June it participated in the attack on the Little St Bernard Pass. At the end of the war against France the division occupied Bourg-Saint-Maurice-Sainte-Foy. In January 1942 the division landed in Dubrovnik and moved from there to Mostar in Croatia, where it participated in the third Axis anti-Partisan offensive from 15th April to 31st May. The division captured Trnovo, and also reached and blocked Kalinovik where it made contact with elements of the 22nd Infantry Division 'Cacciatori delle Alpi'; but, overall, the offensive was a failure. In August 1942 the Taurinense moved to Nikšić in Montenegro. A year later the division took part in the fifth Axis anti-Partisan offensive, but did not complete its objectives there either. After the announcement of the Armistice of Cassibile on 8th September 1943 most of the division was captured by German forces near Kotor, while the Alpini Battalion 'Ivrea' and Alpine Artillery Group 'Aosta' joined the Yugoslav Partisans and formed the Partisan Division 'Garibaldi'.
