Zeugnisse der Gefangenschaft - Aus Tagebüchern und Erinnerungen italienischer Militärinternierter in Deutschland 1943-1945

More than 600,000 Italians were held captive by the Nazi regime between 1943 and 1945 and sentenced to forced labor. Testimonies of Captivity gives the Italian military internees a chance to tell their own stories. Their fate in Germany and Italy after 1945 has been long neglected despite the unusual nature of their experiences with the National Socialist regime and its complex wartime relationships with Italy.
