I am putting together a revised 1936 Italian OOB.

I have found 'proof' that the following Divisions existed in January 1936 (some at minimal peacetime strength)

INFANTRY
1st Division
2nd Division
3rd Division
4th Division
5th Division
10th Division
11th Division
12th Division
16th Division
21st Division
24th Division
30th Division
33rd Division
101st Division
102nd Division

CAVALRY
1st Division
2nd Division
3rd Division

ALPINE/MOUNTAIN
1st Division
2nd Division
3rd Division

FASCIST DIVISIONS
1st Division
2nd Division
3rd Division
4th Division
5th DIvision
6th Division
7th Division

COLONIAL DIVISIONS
1st Erietan Division
2nd Erietan Division
3rd Erietan Division
4th Erietan Division
101st Somali Division
102nd Somali Division

I know that the following Divisions did not exist in 1936

131st Armoured Division
132nd Armoured Division
133rd Armoured Division
64th Infantry Division

Does anyone have a general history as to when the bulk of the unknown Infantry/Motorized Divisions that I have not named, but exist in the 1936 scenario were actually formed? I think that the HoI 1936 scenario has made the Italian forces initially too strong, having too many divisions out there that should not be (they had 2 Armoured Divisions exist in 1936, but were not formed until 1937-39).

Thanks
