Articoli correlati a Fighting With the Enemy: New Zealand Pows and the Italian...
When Italy capitulated during the Second World War, the Germans retaliated against their former ally with brutal force; almost overnight the Italian Resistance was born. Over 450 Kiwi prisoners-of-war saw escape as their only hope. A pathway to precarious safety was provided by the partisans, who were still fighting German and Italian Fascists, and by ordinary Italian families. Many were captured again, and some were tortured and killed. The relationships forged between these New Zealanders and their Italian helpers are keenly remembered and honoured by both sides today. Their stories provide an insight into the Italian Resistance itself, its heroism, sacrifice and impact. Moving and exhilarating, Fighting with the Enemy shows the human side of war.

Descrizione libro Soft cover. Condizione: Good. Small pen name, otherwise a clean copy. In 1943 Italy surrendered to the Allies, and Germany's reaction was to punish Italy severely for this. The Italian Resistance movement was born, almost overnight. Thousands of Kiwis were in prisoner-of-war camps dotted all over Italy, desperately trying to survive until the Allies reached them. Over 450 Kiwis saw escape as their only means of survival, and the partisans and civilians of Italy, former enemies, provided a pathway to a precarious safety. Some of the unlucky ones were captured by the Germans again, tortured and killed. This is the story of a unique encounter during World War II between men and women from two very different cultures, from opposite sides of the world. It traces the stories of New Zealand prisoners of war and their experiences alongside Italian peasants and partisans, including the stories of two New Zealand priests who worked from inside the Vatican organising hiding and refuges for prisoners.
