Descrição: " The state of neutrality kept by Brazil since the beginning of WWII was disrupted by Nazi Germany, when U-Boats sank Brazilian merchant ships, killing over 1,000 civilians. In August 9th 1943, the Brazilian Expeditionary Force (BEF) was created and Division General João Baptista Mascarenhas de Moraes assigned as its Chief Commander. Designed under the American Army standards, BEF was composed of 1st Expeditionary Infantry Division (or 1st DIE) and other non-division units. 1st DIE itself comprised one Infantry Division, one Artillery Division, one Engineering Battalion, one Medical Battalion, one Reconnaissance Squadron plus several small service units. BEF was shipped to Italy from July 2nd 1944 to February 8th 1945. In Italy, BEF became part of the 5th American Army, under the command of General Mark Wayne Clark and its first combat actions took place in early September 1944, at the Arno River sector, near the city of Pisa. In the last days of its offensive, BEF besieged and captured the German 148th Infantry Division (commanded by General Otto Fretter Pico) and the Italia Division (commanded by General Mario Carloni), reaching the Po valley and then heading northwest, to link with French troops at the city of Susa on May 2, 1945. Main BEF victories are: Massarosa, Camaiore, Monte Prano, Monte Acuto, San Quirico, Gallicano, Barga, Monte Castelo, La Serra, Castelnuovo, Soprassasso, Montese, Paravento, Zocca, Marano Su Panaro, Colechio and Fornovo."

Para quem conhece meus videos, percebeu minha luta em divulgar e popularizar a participação do Brasil na Segunda Guerra Mundial, é injusto que uma divisão de 25.334 homens fique no anonimato. Recebi E-mails de varios paises, admirando nossa participação na segunda Grande Guerra, sobre tudo ,a Europa. Então montei esse video destinado ao mundo. sites para referencias e reverências: www.anvefeb.com.br www.sentapua.com.br www.sentandoapua.com.br Comente os videos da FEB, é muito importante.
