Italy's Frogmen Rode Torpedos to Stunning Success

From the summer of 1940 when Italy entered World War II (WW II), to the Italian armistice in the fall of 1943, a handful of brave and tenacious Italian Patriots carried out naval guerilla war against the Allied ships in the British controlled harbors of Mediterrean Sea. In those short three years, the men of the Tenth Light Flotilla sank or significantly damaged two battleships, one heavy cruiser, one destroyer, and 27 merchant ships for an aggregate tonnage of 265,352 tons.
