230th Coastal Division (Italy)
The 230th Coastal Division () was an infantry division of the Royal Italian Army during World War II. History 
On 20 May 1943 the 8th Marching Division was disbanded and on 1 June 1943 the command of the 230th Coastal Division was formed with the 8th Marching Division's personnel. The command arrived in Castelvetrano in Sicily on 3 July 1943 and was assigned to the XII Army Corps in the island's western part. On 10 July 1943, the day the Allied invasion of Sicily began, the 230th received two coastal regiments and one artillery regiment from the 202nd Coastal Division. The 230th Coastal Division took over responsibility from the 202nd Coastal Division for the coastal defense of the coast between Mazara del Vallo and Marsala, and added the coast between Marsala and Trapani. Between 21 and 24 July 1943 the 230th Division was overrun by vastly superior US Army forces and was considered annihilated by the later date. Organization
