Babini Group : ウィキペディア英語版 | Babini Group
The Special Armoured Brigade (''Brigata Corazzata Speciale''), also known as the (Babini Group) was an ''ad hoc'' armoured unit formed by the Italian Royal Army (''Regio Esercito Italia'') in Italian North Africa, at the start of the Western Desert Campaign of World War II. The group was formed in Libya, as part of a plan to assemble an armoured division from the tanks already in the colony and from units sent from Italy. The new division was incomplete when the British began Operation Compass in December but the Babini Group fought in defence of the area between Mechili and Derna in late January. On 23 January, the group managed to inflict tank losses during a counter-attack on the 11th Hussars and force a delay in the Australian advance on Derna. The group then formed a rearguard for the 10th Army as it retreated from Derna and Mechili round the Jebel Akhdar towards the port of Benghazi. The Babini Group was destroyed south of the port at the Battle of Beda Fomm when the ''Via Balbia'' was cut by Combeforce. The Italians failed to concentrate their remaining tanks at the head of the column before Combeforce was reinforced and were defeated in detail, with possibly only nine tanks escaping to the south. ==Background==
