- 8 September 1943 proved to be a fateful day for the Acqui Division,part of the predominantly Italian force occupying Cefalonia: it was the day the Allies concluded an armistice with Italy.

worthy but sometimes a bit slushy - Cefalonia review by pete b
a bit too hollywood, a bit too formulaic, but saved by instances depicted that were real events, and such historical events need to be known about.
