The landings initially took German forces by surprise, but the Allies soon found themselves besieged in their beachhead. A notable aspect of this operation was the involvement of Italian paratroopers from the 184th Airborne Division \"Nembo,\" who fought alongside German forces. These troops, loyal to the Fascist regime even after Italy's surrender, played a significant role in the defence against the Allied advance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDragon's 1\/35 scale figure set captures this unique collaboration, offering modellers a chance to recreate this lesser-known facet of WWII history. The set's dynamic poses and authentic detailing provide a vivid representation of the Italian paratroopers' role in the Battle of Anzio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHow to use it\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAssemble the figures using model glue and paint them with acrylic or enamel paints to match historical uniforms.
