frogmen walking on the bottom of the sea Explanation: I have nothing better to offer, I'm afraid... but the Italian term sounds quite awful too! After all, it was a very short-lived experiment in a very peculiar Italian story; it's not surprising that it left no trace in English. I took the above expression from the book The Black Prince and the Sea Devils: The Story of Prince Valerio Borghese and the Elite Units of the Decima Mas by Jack Greene, Alessandro Massignani you'll find it at page 5 of the excerpt offered at: http://www.amazon.com/gp/reader/0306813114/ref=sib_dp_srch_p... which you may possibly wish to read to get some background to you text you can also read this - in Italian: http://pub10.bravenet.com/forum/795583276/show/732703 |
