While the Italian soldier's commitment was not as great as that of the Germans, many Italians fought bravely. The Littorio and Ariete Divisions earned Allied admiration at Tobruk, Gazala, and EI Alamein. Their Army played a significant role as part of the Afrika Korps and made up a large portion of the Axis combat power in North Africa during 1941.
