After serving in the First World War, Fretter-Pico (1892-1966) remained in service in the years between the two wars. Promoted on March 1, 1941 to General Major, he took command on April 19, 1941 of the 97 light infantry division. During the operations that culminated with the taking of Stalino, an important industrial city, on 16 October 1941, the force commanded by Fretter-Pico was able to cooperate, also together with the first gebirgsdivision, in close synergy with an Italian formation, the 63° CCNN legion of assault 'Tagliamento', in an atmosphere of profitable and comradely collaboration. The joint Italian-German mixed team cooperated closely until the so-called 'Christmas Battle' at the end of 1941. Probably the sword is a gift offered by the General Staff to Fretter-Pico during those months of hard victorious efforts. The fact remains that the General later had other Italian departments under his direct control. on December 27, 1941 the XXX Armee Korps was formed, with the name of 'Armee- Abteilungen FRETTER-PICO', formed by: 3 gebirgs division, third infantry division 'Ravenna', grouping CCNN XXIII March, 'Schuld brigade', 'Kampf gruppe Nagel', 304 infantry division 'Kampfgruppe Kreysing'. On 1st June 1942 he was promoted to General der Artillerie and confirmed commander general of the XXX Armee-Korps, group whose command remained until February 1943. In September 1944 he was in command of the Armee-Gruppe Fretter-Pico. He will be captured by the Americans and held in captivity until 1948. length 92,4 cm.
