Don River, Russia, 17th January 1943. Alpini scouts spearhead the 40,000 strong mass of stragglers retreating from the Don front in the wake of the Soviet Little Saturn offensive. Two columns of Alpini and Italians from other commands, plus various Germans and Hungarians fought twenty-two battles and covered 200 km on foot in fifteen days to regain their own lines.
