What I'm thinking about is the fighting that took place between the Italians and other foreign volunteers in the German Army vs the Soviets outside Stalingrad. |

I nominate Operation Exporter, the British/Free French invasion of Vichy-controlled Lebanon and Syria.

This raid marked the first action in the Gilbert Islands -- even before Tarawa. It is largely overshadowed by the full-scale assault over a year later.

The Norwegian stand at Hegra Fortress near Trondheim. 200-300 volunteers dug an old decomissioned fort out of the snow drift and held off a German regiment for almost a full month until they learned all other forces in South Norway had surrendered and that there was, in effect, nothing left to defend.
