Yep. Members of Skorzeny‘s „Greif“ commandos. I think this pic shows Pernass. The building and the wall still stand today, I should have pics somewhere.

Submarine Luigi Torelli arriving at the Atlantic base of Bordeaux, on 4 February 1941, after its third war patrol
The Luigi Torelli had departed Bordeaux (the base for Italian submarines operating in the Atlantic Ocean) on either 5 or 9 January 1941, for a patrol on the waters west of Scotland. On 15 January it met a few ships from the dispersed Convoy OB 272, and torpedoed two of them, the Greek Nemea (5198 grt) and the Norwegian Brask (4079 grt); at 0100 h of the 16 January the Torelli attacked and sunk the Greek Nicolas Filinis (3111 grt). Finally, on 28 January, the submarine torpedoed and sunk the British Urla (5198 grt), dispersed unit of Convy HX 102. To date, this was the most successful patrol for an Italian submarine, and the submarine's commander was duly decorated with a Silver Medal of Military Valor.

The captain of the submarine, recognisable by the white scarf he wore while standing on the bridge, was Capitano di Fregata Primo Longobardo, after whom two submarines of the Marina Militare would be called. On the right, the officer standing separately is Admiral Angelo Parona, BETASOM's erstwhile commander.
