BACKGROUND: In March 1919 Benito Mussolini established the, FdC, Fascio di Combattimento, (Union of Combatants), political party in Milan and fascism was born in Italy. Mussolini was first elected as a member of the Chamber of Deputies in the general election of 1921. In a fortunate set of circumstances, due to a general strike, economic chaos and a dissatisfied populace, Mussolini was able to depose Premier Luigi Facta and was appointed as Premier by King Victor Emmanuel III following the infamous "March on Rome", in October 1922. On October 25TH 1936 with Mussolini’s, Partito Nazionale Fascita, (National Fascist Party), firmly in control the Italians and the Germans announced the signing of the Italo German Axis pact. With the overthrow of Mussolini on July 25TH 1943 and the official Italian surrender on September 8TH 1943, the Germans rapidly advanced into Italy and appropriated large stockpiles of Italian clothing and equipment including handguns. Of Note: In a daring raid on September 13TH 1943 Mussolini was rescued by the Germans and formed the fascist RSI, Repubblica Sociale Italiana, (Italian Social Republic), in a failed attempt to regain power. The Italian Pietro Beretta armaments firm originally began producing pistols for the Italian army in 1915 and introduced assorted models with the short 9mm caliber M34 pistol being developed in 1934 and utilized as the standard Italian army pistol through out WWII.
