Nembo
The second Italian paratroop division, 184 Airborne Division Nembo ("Nimbus") was formed in 1943 from new units along with the 185th Regiment of the Folgore. On 8 September, Marshal Badoglio announced the surrender of Italy, and the German forces in Italy acted quickly to take over government. The Nembo division was sent to Sardinia that evening, where a malaria outbreak took a terrible toll on its manpower.
One battailon of Nembo and some elements of Folgore divisions went on to fight for the Italian Social Republic (RSI) against the Allies at Anzio. Two thirds of the Nembo division's effective strength was killed in the battle and subsequent retreat.
Various units formed by elements of both Divisions fought in the Italian campaign, in the battles of Filottrano, Grizzano Houses and in Operation Herring (these last ones in the Combat Group Folgore).
Towards the end of the Second World War the Nembo division became a Mechanized Infantry Regiment, based in Belluno, Villa Vicentina, Cervignano of Friuli and Gradisca d' Isonzo, were it was based until 1991, when it was reconstituted as the 183rd Parachute Battalion Nembo, within the Folgore Parachute Brigade.
