The video looks like stock footage to me, rather than anything specifically relating to the BoB. Though The Italians undoubtedly played a part, I wouldn't take this as any real guide.

No, that is not all stock footage but looks to be real Italian BoB footage. There are many clues that this is in Belgium...

-The new gray uniforms without putees made especially for the CAI.
-The light colored (yellow) noses of the Fiat G50s and cat insignia on the
tails (351-352-352 squadriglia).
-The characters (from Disney) painted by the rear side doors of the Fiat BR20 and some have the undersides blacked-out...maybe all had this camo???

Nice video. This link is a nice little account of the Italians in BOB. Not much of an impact- present more for the public relations of being axis allies. Can't wait for BOB!
