04.03.1942 letter from Fp.41700B - 1.company Kroat.Infanterie Ersatz Battalion 369. in Stockerau to a Croatian soldier(officer) who was training with Academy of infantry, Modena Italy (Accademia di fanteria). Some Croatian soldier were trained in Italy but their number is much smaller then those trained in the Reich. At the time of Italian surrender there were 30 Croats in Academia di fenteria in Modena, while at the same time there were hundreds of soldiers in Kroatische Ausbildungs Brigade in Stockerau (one source states that up to 100 000 Croats were trained in Stockerau during the whole war).
Mail from Croatia to Italian military schools is very rare due to a small number of Croats in those schools, but mail from Kroat.Ausbil.Brig. to those soldiers is exceptionally rare.
