"" ********************************************* "" The Decima Mas (Tenth Light Flotilla) was one of Italy's few success stories in World War II. A relative handful of these frogmen did more damage to Allied shipping in the Mediterranean than all the conventional Italian naval and air forces. Arriving off an Allied harbor such as Gibraltar or Alexandria by submarine, teams of frogmen riding piloted torpedoes would be launched. Entering the harbor, the frogmen would attach mines to the hulls of Allied ships and, in ideal circumstances, make their escape back to the submarine. Commanded by the enigmatic Prince Valerio Borghese, Decimas Mas pioneered many underwater warfare techniques. After the Italian armistice of 1943, the Decimas Mas largely became an anti-partisan infantry unit and fought on with the Axis, although Borghese and his men kept their distance from Mussolini's more diehard supporters. The French text of this important work on special warfare is supplemented by 50 rare photographs. "" ************************* ref 165. N� de r�f. du vendeur 297-ff-42154
