Whitehead Torpedo, Torpedofabrik Moto Fides s.a.- Livorno, Counter Admiral Eberhard Weichold, 1941

Large model of a torpedo, made by Officine Whitehead in the Moto Fides S.A. factory in Livorno, as a gift intended for Counter Admiral Eberhard Weichold who was, from 1 November 1941 to 4 March 1943, Commander of the German Naval Command in Italy (Deutsches Marinekommando Italien) at the General Staff of the Italian Royal Navy in Rome. In all likelihood this gift was delivered to him, as reported imprinted on its double-sided base designed to present and support it, on the occasion of his visit to the torpedo factory in December 1941. It is very likely that this visit had the purpose of inspecting and viewing the plant since, at the very end of 1941, Moto Fides S.A. of Livorno developed the technical-mechanical process to complete the production of torpedoes.
