P40 and a Decal for National Unity and Armed Forces Day of Italy!
One of the main national holidays of Italy is dedicated to the capitulation of Austria-Hungary in the First World War, which took place on November 4th, 1918. As a result of the peace treaty, Italy annexed South Tyrol, the Austrian Littoral, Trieste and part of Dalmatia, thus completing the unification of all the lands that it considered its own. For this purpose, Italy entered the First World War, so the victory over Austria-Hungary is also celebrated as the Day of Armed Forces of Italy.
