Mussolini Inspecting Italian Troops

This picture was taken on 18 July 1944 at Grafenwöhr, Bavaria, and it shows Benito Mussolini (leader of the Italian Social Republic or Repubblica Sociale Italiana, RSI) reviews Italian troops from 3ª Divisione fanteria di marina "San Marco" (3rd Marine Infantry Division "San Marco"), trained by the Germans. Two Wehrmacht generals at right is, from left to right: Generalmajor Konrad von Alberti (Leiter des deutschen Verbindungskommandos 182 bei der italienischen 3. Marineinfanteriedivision "San Marco") and Generaloberst Friedrich Fromm (Chef der Heeresrüstung und Befehlshaber des Ersatzheeres). The Italian officer in the middle is Generale di Brigata Aldo Princivalle (Commander of 3rd Marine Infantry Division "San Marco"), and behind him - almost invisible - is Marshal of Italy Rodolfo Graziani (Minister of National Defence of RSI). The officer behind Mussolini is a tenente colonnello, likely the commander of the unit being inspected. He is wearing artillery insignia without a divisional mostrine. The men aren't wearing mostrine nor the M41 guibba that was worn by the sailors of the San marco, so not one the marine regiments. If this is the artillery regiment of the 3º d. «San Marco», that officer is either ten. col. Alfredo Possenti or Giuseppe De Martis.
