Close. Here is a link to only the second 70-year-old article I posted, Jan. 28, 1938.
ROME, Jan. 27. One unexpected effect of the visit by Premier Benito Mussolini to Germany last September was seen today when, much to everybodys surprise, the goosestep was performed for the first time in the annals of Italian military history by 2,000 Black Shirts reviewed by Mussolini.
I remember that one. I found an Italian procession doing the Goosestep for the January picture for the 1938 year in review thread.
