Italian Blackshirt

Description
Italian Blackshirt

The Blackshirts were Fascist paramilitary groups in Italy during the period immediately following World War I and until the end of World War II.

Inspired by Giuseppe Garibaldi\'s Redshirts, the Blackshirts were organized by Benito Mussolini as a military tool of his Fascist movement. The founders of the paramilitary groups were nationalist intellectuals, former army officers or members of the special corp Arditi, young landowners opposing peasants\' and country labourers\' unions. Their methods became harsher as Mussolini\'s power grew, and they used violence, intimidation, and murder against Mussolini\'s opponents. One of their distinctive techniques was force-feeding castor oil.

The ethos and sometimes the uniform were later copied by others who shared Mussolini\'s political ideas, including Adolf Hitler in Nazi Germany, who issued brown shirts to the Sturmabteilung and black uniforms to the Schutzstaffel (also colloquially known as \"Blackshirts\", because they wore black suit-like tunics with brown shirts).
