50th Infantry Regiment "Parma" also raised the 313th Infantry Regiment "Pinerolo" for the 24th Infantry Division "Pinerolo". After the announcement of the Armistice of Cassibile on 8 September 1943 the bulk of the division was disbanded by German forces near Vlorë in Albania, while the command of the 49th Infantry Regiment "Parma" and the regiment's I Battalion were in the process of being shipped to Corfu. There the I Battalion, together with the 18th Infantry Regiment "Acqui" from the 33rd Infantry Division "Acqui" resisted German forces until 25 September 1943. After the Italian surrender on Corfu the Germans executed the officers of the two regiments. The II Battalion of 49th Infantry Regiment "Parma" refused the German order to surrender and joined the 151st Infantry Division "Perugia" on its march to Sarandë. There the Perugia and the II Battalion resisted German forces until 5 October 1943. After the Italian surrender in Sarandë the Germans executed all captured Italian officers.
