There were many weapons used during the civil war. Many and most were guns such as rifels, Lmat revolvers, musket, carbine, grenades, gatling gun, and a revolver. Many of these weapons were very hard for newcomers, but the training would teach all the soldiers could know. Using such a dangerous weapon could sometimes pay off if you learned to load (gunpowder) and aim. They also used rocks and pebbles as well a wood if they did not have any weapons left. == ==
They were Allies. But nearing the end when the Italians wanted to kick Mussolini out of power, Hitler sent in German troops to take control. He didn't want to lose the country, so he sent in his soldiers temporarily to fight the Allies and make sure Italy stayed its ally.

What color shirts did the Fascists wear?
Hitler's army (the Wehrmacht Heer, the ground component of the Armed Forces) ordinarily wore a field-grey (feldgrau) color uniform. The shirt was a brownish-grey called "mouse grey"; this was not usually visible under the standard high-collared M36 tunic, but could be seen on armored-vehicle crewmen, who wore the double-breasted "Panzer wrap" which had an open collar and lapels and was worn with a black necktie.
German troops in North Africa wore the tropical uniform which was all of an olive color: tunic, trousers, shirt and (theoretically) necktie. The desert sun soon faded everything to a khaki shade.
Of the other branches of the Wehrmacht: the Navy (Kriegsmarine) wore white shirts (officers) and blue-and-white striped shirts (enlisted). The Air Force (Luftwaffe) wore pale blue-grey shirts.
No branch of the Wehrmacht wore the Nazi Party swastika armband.

Of the Party's own military and paramilitary forces: The SA (Brownshirts) was the original gang of street toughs and bully-boys; they wore tan uniforms which had originated as World War I tropical issue. The SA did wear the swastika armband around the left upper arm.
The SS was originally Hitler's personal bodyguard within the SA: until 1932 they wore the SA brown shirt but with black trousers and kepis. In that year the SS adopted the notorious black uniform- still with a brown shirt. The SS armband featured black stripes above and below the swastika.
Hollywood loves sticking the sinister all-black SS outfit into World War II movies, and is nearly always wrong. Between 1938 and 1940 the SS transitioned to a new uniform in a lighter grey than the Army. The Hakenkreuz armband was not worn with this uniform: it was replaced by the SS eagle worn as a patch on the left sleeve. This SS service dress can be quickly distinguished from the Army's because it had an open collar and tie like its black predecessor; the shirt was white. The Waffen-SS field uniform, however, was just the Army uniform with SS insignia.
