At the forefront of this offensive were the brave field artillerymen known as "redlegs".

Throughout the course of World War II, Allied forces engaged in elaborate deceptions to fool Hitler's armies. A ragtag group of Bohemian artists and creatives were assembled to devise these strategies, including rubber dummy tanks, faux railway lines and falsified wireless intelligence. They made armies appear out of thin air, baffling German forces and ensuring Allied success in battle. For fifty years, information on the Ghost Army strategies was classified. It is only recently that details of their heroic actions have come to light.

By 1943, after the catastrophic German defeat at Stalingrad, the Wehmacht's panzer armies gradually lost the initiative on the Eastern Front. The tide of the war had turned. Their combined arms technique, which had swept Soviet forces before it during 1941 and 1942, had lost its edge. Thereafter the war on the Eastern Front was dominated by tank-led offensives and, as Robert Forczyk shows, the Red Army's mechanized forces gained the upper hand, delivering a sequence of powerful blows that shattered one German defensive line after another.

Il colore grigio-verde della divisa e la penna nera rendono riconoscibile ogni alpino. Ma dietro questi elementi c'è molto di più: emergono valori importanti come la lealtà, il coraggio e l'altruismo. Paolo Campanardi, noto a tutti come Gibba, da sempre coltiva una grande passione per il corpo degli alpini (pur non avendo fatto il servizio militare, con suo sommo rimpianto), ha letto numerosi diari di eroici battaglioni e negli ultimi otto anni ha percorso migliaia di chilometri sulle montagne dell'Alto Garda ricercando tracce e testimonianze dei fatti avvenuti durante la Grande guerra.
