Question about Italian Navy, 1940

Post by Francis Marliere »

Gentlemen,

I have an interest in operations in the Red Sea in 1940 and try to elaborate an accurate oob. I have gathered some information but some things are still mising :

* I can't fin the name of the officer in command of Italian 3rd destroyer squadron (Battisti, Manin, Nullo and Sauro)
* I can't find the name of the commanding officer of FF Cesare Battisti
* I have 2 names for the officer in command of 5th destroyer squadron : captain Anfrea Gasparini and Commander Ferruccio Guerrini). Which one is correct ?
* I have 2 names for the officer in command of 8th submarine group : Commander Ferruccio Guerrini and Commander Gino Spagone - which one is the good one ?
* I have no name for the CO of MAS.216 and ML Ostia

Thanks for any help,

Francis Marliere
