Enea Navarini

Enea Navarini (1 April 1885 in Cesena – 22 March 1977 in Merano) was an Italian general who served during the Second World War.

After the German invasion of Greece, Navarini was transferred to the North African front where he assumed command of the XXI Army Corps.

He returned to North Africa, at Rommel's direct request, for the Second Battle of El Alamein, once again commanding the XXI Corps.

After the defeat of the German-Italian Panzer Army he remained in command of the surviving units until February 1943 when, following the inevitable loss of the North African front in Tunisia, he was evacuated to Italy.

After the end of the war, in April 1945, he was subjected to an administrative process of political legal purge ("administrative trial") with the loss of his role and rank, but in the course of the same year such measures were revoked by legal decision of a superior Court of Justice ("judicial trial").
