The British Empire and its Italian Prisoners of War, 1940-1947 Paperback / softback
by B. Moore, K. Fedorowich
Part of the Studies in Military and Strategic History series
Paperback / softback
Description
During the Second World War, British and Imperial forces captured more than half a million Italian soldiers, sailors and airmen.
Although a symbol of military success, these prisoners created a multitude of problems for the authorities throughout the war.
This book looks at how the British addressed these problems and turned liabilities into assets by using the Italians as a labour force, a source of military intelligence and as a political warfare tool before their final repatriation in 1946-47.
