Default Re: German OOB 16: minor corrections

Well there was a whole bunch of Italian tanks seized by the Germans after Italian surrender (currently there are only two such vehicles in the OOB). Some were used in Italy, others in the Balkans, and I've heard a few were even used in Poland. Most were deployed for anti-partisan duty.

However, while including these tanks may be correct from a "realism" standpoint (after all, the Germans employed over 700 of them, plus 200 or so armoured cars), the fact is that they can be represented by taking "allies" from spob04, leaving more room for "real" German vehicles.

A book on the subject was written by Daniele Guglielmi: Italian Armour in German Service 1943–1945 (2005, bilingual Italian/English)

Anyway, if you nonetheless want to add them, just say the word and I can provide the info on what types were used and in what numbers.
