Following the overthrow of Mussolini in September 1943 many liberated PoWs joined the Italian partisans in fighting the Germans. Using eye-witness accounts Malcolm Tudor, whose Italian grandparents assisted them, tells the stories of the British, Australian, Canadian, American, Russian, Polish and Yugoslav fighters who tied down seven German divisions, providing critical support for the Allied forces advancing through the peninsula.
Here is the remarkable story of the foreigners who volunteered to join the guerrilla war against Germans and Fascists in Second World War Italy. The fighters included Britons, Australians, Canadians, New Zealanders, South Africans, Americans, Russians, Poles and Yugoslavs. Most were escaped prisoners of war who fled their camps after the Italian armistice and surrender in September 1943. From the summer of 1944 the British Special Operations Executive (SOE) and American Office of Strategic Services (OSS) built on information from their compatriots in enemy territory to send in agents to help arm and train the partisans and to coordinate airdrops. Against the backdrop of twenty months of savage warfare on the mainland, this is the full story of the Allied servicemen who took part in the Italian Resistance, which became one of the greatest insurgent movements in Western Europe. Partisan forces hit enemy communications, tied down seven German divisions and provided tactical support for the Allied armies. 'Among the Italian Partisans' is a celebration of brave men and great events.
