Historical Background and Use of the Figures

The figures depict authentically dressed sailors of the Italian Navy (Regia Marina) who manned the fast M.A.S. torpedo boats during World War II. M.A.S. boats were widely used by Italy in naval operations in the Mediterranean between 1939 and 1945. They took part in, among others, attacks on Allied ships during blockades, night raids, and mine-laying operations – for example, the participation of M.A.S. 15 in sinking the Austro-Hungarian battleship "Szent István" in 1918, although the main use for the figures in this set is the WWII period.
