The British Empire and its Italian Prisoners of War, 1940-1947 Hardback
by B. Moore, K. Fedorowich
Part of the Studies in Military and Strategic History series
Hardback
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.
