LAGERS OF LOSERS
Postal history outline of concetration camps for RSI soldiers
Historical and postal-historical information

The author leads us through a real minefield, the RSI field post, touching the zone regarding tens of thousands of young people who, between 1943 and 1945, followed the call-up of the Italian Republican National Government. These were nearly soldiers "of fortune" who received the official recognition of the status of servicemen by the Allies; however, once imprisoned in the concentration camps, they were not treated on the bases of the Geneva Convention, not even as to permission to correspond. Jannaci has individuated more than 110 detention places for soldiers of the Italian National Republican Army, from Oltano to the prisons such as Forte Boccea, to the extermination camps created in Yugoslavia.

The present second edition, with the support of the Association for the Families of RSI Fallen and Missing Men, has been updated with descriptions of camps and information unknown at the time of the first edition; additions have been included in the bibliography and new images never published before have been added.
