Battle Description: In July 1941, the 52nd Divisione Fanteria (Autotrasportabile) "Torino" took part in the invasion of the Soviet Union as part of the Italian Expeditionary Corps.  The Corps saw action in Moldavia and the Ukraine and by September 1941 had crossed the mighty Dnieper river.  By the end of the year, the "Torino" was engaged in desperate defensive action in the Izjum sector against counterattacking Soviet troops.  One such battle occurred on Christmas Day, 1941. *
