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.
