He was sent to fight in Russia for punishing, together with a lot of antifascists, with dressing equipment made for North-Africans battlefields.<br />Like a prisoner, he only lived 40 days, 50 years after officially said for a disease. Tatiana is right, not only the Italian Government, but at the time the powerful Palmiro Togliatti too, forgot them.<br />Corrado Petrihttp://www.rcrcrystal.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628199365429496193.post-20683739114509431972015-06-14T10:46:32.051-07:002015-06-14T10:46:32.051-07:00Great thoughts, Ugo!

I've met many people in Italy whose fathers and grandfathers were imprisoned or killed in Russia. Just during your fabulous Cassandrata, I spoke with your friend whose grandfather was killed and buried near the Russian town of Tambov. His family has known about that only 50 years after his death. That may mean that the Italian state didn't make any moves in order to find out the fate of those who didn't return from the WWII.SantaTatianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03879669711077313363noreply@blogger.com
