Italian Paras?  

We dont hear much about them these days as the Italian authorities quickly disbanded the unit when they found out the soldiers  were automatically steering theit parachutes to drop right into allied POW camps.

The guy right at the front must've farted, he's smiling like nothing has happened, but the rest look like they are choking.

Helmets look like those of para. Maybe Nembo or Arditi in late war would depend on your source of the picture.

edit: Guess I'm wrong noticed they seem to have the start of the collar of the San Marco uniform so I guess I am wrong.
