ITALIAN SOLDIERS WITHIN GERMAN FORMATIONS 1943-1945

In this monograph the author, on the bases of correspondences and decrees, locates about 2,000 Feldpost formations in which he has discovered the presence of Italian soldiers (volunteer troops, servicemen, collaborators, workers, etc.). With a philological care, he develops and reconstructs the Italian Army destiny after the armistice of 8 September 1943, completing the historical picture with unpublished material.
