Elements of the SS-Panzergrenadier-Division "Leibstandarte SS Adolf Hitler" passing through Italian towns of Pavia and Milan in September 1943. The Leibstandarte was sent to Italy to reinforce German forces there, following the collapse of Mussolini’s government, but saw no action other than disarming Italians troops. The main accomplishment was to pressure, by its presence, a skittish Italian government, and re-equip itself with new armor.
