5th Alpine Division "Pusteria" 🇮🇹🗻🏔️🐪🫏🇪🇹 mountain gun team with mules and camels
The 5th Alpine Division "Pusteria" (Italian: 5ª Divisione alpina "Pusteria") was a division of the Royal Italian Army, which specialized in mountain warfare.
During the Second Italo-Ethiopian War, the Pusteria embarked in Livorno and Naples from 6 January 1936 for its transfer to Massawa in Italian Eritrea. From there the division moved to Macallé in Ethiopia and entered combat at the end of January. The division played a primary role in the Battle of Amba Aradam and the Battle of Maychew, and participated in the Second Battle of Tembien. On 5 May 1936 the division entered the Ethiopian capital of Addis Ababa.
