Mountain or infantry?
I only ask, because until coming to this page and then looking at the Axis history website linked to, as I have only seen this division referred to as an infantry division.
Does anyone have access to the following sources that could clear this up: 'Italian Army Order of Battle, 1940–1944' or the relevant volume from the three volume series 'The Italian Order of Battle in WW II: An Organizational History of the Divisions and Independent Brigades of the Italian Army.'
Furthermore, see this compared to this?

- G'day Enigma. My understanding from page 2 of Jowett's The Italian Army 1940-45 (1): Europe 1940-43 is that the "Mountain" appellation was essentially theoretical (or even propaganda) because Italian divisions were rarely actually equipped or trained to the extent that these supposedly "specialist" roles had any meaning (with the exception of Alpini and Bersaglieri of course). Of course that is not to say that the article title should be changed. Regards, Peacemaker67 (send... over) 01:34, 20 May 2014 (UTC)
