The men moved to Rome in the evening of September 8 and participated in a subsequent operation to capture the Italian Army defeating a large assembly of infantry and armoured troops that in Porta San Paolo tried to stop them.

In October 1943, the division was deployed to the Eastern Front in the Soviet Union and was subordinated to the 42nd Army Corps, west of Kiev.

The division fought its last actions on the Eastern Front in May during a counterattack against a Red Army bridgehead across the Dniestr river.

During the Allied D-Day landings on June 6, 1944, the 6th Regiment was stationed in the Carentan area of the Cotentin Peninsula, near the US 101st Airborne Division's drop zones.

A new division was formed by December; it fought in the defense of Germany in January 1945 and ended the war in the Ruhr Pocket in April.
