What else can I help you with?
Was Mussolini in the military?
Yes. he joined the Italian Army in 1915. In 1917 he was wounded by a bomb and was sent to hospital and then home which ended his army service. Yes. Mussolini was in the Bersaglieri, elite soldiers formed by Garibaldi when Italy became a nation in the 19th Century. The Bersaglieri served creditably in WW2, and in Lebanon in 1982. They may be recognized by the bird feather plumes on their hats or helmets, and they are still elite soldiers of the Italian Army today. Instead of an enemy bomb, I think Mussolini was wounded by an Italian mortar bomb which exploded prematurely. Cashiered from the Italian Army, Mussolini decided to enter politics.....with disastrous effects to the world.

Were there Italian Nazi Volunteers and did they have a flag?
Italy was an ally of Nazi Germany. The Fascists were a political party that had close ties to the Nazi party. But the Italians did not volunteer for service in German Army. Mussolini did supply soldiers to support the German Army, such as in the Russian Campaign, but they served under their own flag. After the Italian governmen surrendered in Sept 1943, Mussolini was set up as leader of a re-organized Fascists group called the Italian Social Republic(RSI). Some Italians were incorporated into the German army. The Italian paratroopers formed one of the German paratrooper divisions that fought in Italy. An SS division was eventually formed of Italians that became the 29th Waffen-Grenadier der SS (Italienische Nr: 1). This is the unit that you probably refer to. As an SS division, it probably had its own flag. However, most of the Italians continued to serve as part of the Fascists military and were used mostly to control the partisan forces.
