The Legacy of Military Necessity in Italy: War and Memory in Cassino and Monte Sole (Thesis format: Monograph) by Cynthia D. Brown Graduate Program in History A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The School of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies The University of Western Ontario London, Ontario, Canada © Cynthia D. Brown 2013 Abstract The rise of Benito Mussolini’s Fascist party and its disastrous alliance with Nazi Germany remains one of the most well-known parts of Italy’s Second World War experience, at least in English historical literature. The war did not end when the Italians surrendered to the Allies in September 1943. Military histories of what followed focus on the bitter campaign waged between the Germans and the Allies on the Italian peninsula. Much less is known about the impact of war on the Italian nation and its civilians. From the Italian perspective, the war was a defining yet difficult period that remains controversial seventy years on. The war ripped the country and its people apart - both figuratively and literally. This dissertation examines the 1943-45 war and its impact by comparing two Italian regions, Cassino and Monte Sole. Both Cassino and Monte Sole were unfortunate enough to be the sites of the major clashes and protracted battles of the Italian campaign. The comparative approach reveals how the priority of winning affected respective German and Allied policies toward Italian civilians. The issue of military necessity led both sides to make a number of decisions, sometimes controversial, that affected the Italian people. The most well-known examples are the Allied decision to bomb the Abbey of Montecassino and the German massacre of nearly 800 unarmed women, children, and elderly at Monte Sole. This study reveals that these two events are only a fraction of the story. ii The emphasis on these two major events overshadows the plethora of Italian experiences that emerged from the interaction between civilian and soldier in Italy. Allied and German policy toward the Italians – both civilian and soldier – had a tremendous impact on how Italians attach meaning to their war. The comparison and contrast between what happened and the resulting memory in Cassino and Monte Sole offers a more textured look at how Italians experienced and remember their war. Keywords: war, Second World War, civil war, conflict, military policy toward civilians, interaction between civilian and soldier, bombing, massacres, memory. iii Acknowledgements I first became interested in the plight of the Italian civilian during the Second World War in 2005 when I was asked to be a driver/interpreter on a battlefield study tour of in 2005. The tour was both new and old. Built on the success of the Canadian Battlefields Foundation programs in Normandy, the Italy tour was delivered as part of the University of New Brunswick’s Intersession Abroad program. The tour was delivered in May, so when we visited the Commonwealth War Graves sites the wreaths, laid by Italians on 25 April: the Festa della liberazione, were still at the Cross of Remembrance. I wondered how these people endured the war and why they found it important to honour the sacrifice of Allied soldiers on their Day of Liberation. The next year, the tour was offered again but to allay my growing curiosity, we included more about how the Italians suffered. It was then, in 2006, that I first read Jack Olsen’s Silence on Monte Sole and discovered the horror of what happened in the Apennines, just south of Bologna. We booked hotels and went in to Marzabotto, not knowing what we might find. What we found shook the foundations of everyone. Few of the students, most interested in military issues related to the Canadian Army, understood the extent to which Italian civilians suffered in the war. Their worlds changed on the day we visited Marzabotto and then the hills of Monte Sole. We were greeted by the town with great fanfare, if not annoyance, because we did not call ahead. In typical Italian style and in spite of my neglect, the mayor, Edoardo Masetti, assembled a staff, some of whom could speak English, and arranged for an English speaking guide, Tiziana, and a survivor, Franco, to meet us at the Scuola di Pace for an afternoon program. We delegates were presented with gifts: a town of Marzabotto flag and a beautiful coffee table book featuring local photographs. It was a sort of kindness that became typical on our future travels and something we tried very hard to reciprocate. Since that day, we have expanded our program to cover issues of the military campaign in Italy and the impact it had on civilians. My colleague, the co-director of the UNB program, and now my husband, Lee Windsor, covers the campaign side and I cover the impact on civilians. Our work has grown together and informed one another’s since. In addition, our combined work has attracted many friends: both Italian and non-Italians. It is not uncommon to have an Italian passerby stop to observe the group of foreigners standing on a beach or in a town square and listen quietly while we finish our lecture. Then they inevitably ask: where do you come from and why are you here? That is usually followed up with: “Why do you speak my language? You must have Italian family?” Our interest in the war usually prompts an anecdote or personal reflection that adds texture to my understanding of the millions of ways Italians experienced the Second World War. Although our students cannot generally understand the conversation, they listen with baited breath as our new Italian friend describes how he was on the beach when the landing came, was given chocolate from Canadian or American soldiers, or how his or her parents were forced to flee to caves to survive the winter. First, then, I must thank all of those Italians who stopped and listened and told their stories. They have enriched my understanding of the campaign and given me hope in humanity. iv In addition to those nameless Italians I have met since my first tour of the battlefields of Italy in 2005, I have made a number of friends who have directly contributed to my research and my work. My only fear in listing them is that I will miss someone. I met Paolo Vacca, from the town of San Pietro, in 2007 when he was supervising work on the building of the museum at San Pietro. He gathered friends and took our group on a tour of the site, telling us little tidbits of the story we could never know. The last I heard, his mother is still alive. I hope to record her story as well. Kay de Latour Scott, Alberto Fontana, and Roberto Molle from Roccasecca and the Cassino area have helped me and me to sites while we were doing research in the area. Mariella Costanzo, Angela Arnone, and Adriana, Pietro, and Primavera at the Hotel Ideale in Ortona have taken us and our students on as family whenever we are there. We shall remember Orazio always. Since my first visit to Monte Sole in 2006, Marzia Gigli and Elena Monicelli have become great friends and have helped in my understanding. I value the work being done at the Scuola di Pace. Since 2010, Stefano Merzi has led our students through the site at Monte Sole, enlightening us to the hope that is possible. Anna Salerno at the Monte Sole Historical Park Archives was very helpful and patient with me while I took over her office in the summer of 2010 to carry out my research. Anna introduced me to Reginald Smith, an ex-Coldstream Guardsman, who entered into the Monte Sole area in February 1945 to find the bodies of many dead civilians, including a baby. Reginald and his wife, Vivienne, have become friends and welcomed me as family when I was able to visit them in Bristol in 2010. I must thank Eric McGeer, Karen Storwick, Ken McLeod and all of my fellow D- Day Dodgers who have accompanied me to Italy over the years. Blake and Ben Seward, who have not yet accompanied us to Italy but who have been to war with us in France and Flanders, I must thank you for your continued encouragement. The Betts-Wilmott family, Tessa, Norm, and Kate, have been champions of my cause and been so kind on my travels. I must thank Marc Milner, Brent Wilson, and Valerie Gallant, from the Gregg Centre, for your continued support as I tackle this project.

  • Military Historical Society of Minnesota
    The 34th “Red Bull” Infantry Division 1917-2010 Organization and World War One The 34th Infantry Division was created from National Guard troops of Minnesota, Iowa, the Dakotas and Nebraska in late summer 1917, four months after the US entered World War One. Training was conducted at Camp Cody, near Deming, New Mexico (pop. 3,000). Dusty wind squalls swirled daily through the area, giving the new division a nickname: the “Sandstorm Division.” As the men arrived at Camp Cody other enlistees from the Midwest and Southwest joined them. Many of the Guardsmen had been together a year earlier at Camp Llano Grande, near Mercedes, Texas, on the Mexican border. Training went well, and the officers and men waited anxiously throughout the long fall and winter of 1917-18 for orders to ship for France. Their anticipation turned to anger and frustration, however, when word was received that spring that the 34th had been chosen to become a replacement division. Companies, batteries and regiments, which had developed esprit de corps and cohesion, were broken up, and within two months nearly all personnel were reassigned to other commands in France. Reduced to a skeleton of cadre NCOs and officers, the 34th remained at Camp Cody just long enough for new draftees to refill its ranks. The reconstituted division then went to France, but by the time it arrived in October 1918, it was too late to see action. The war ended the following month. Between Wars After World War One, the 34th was reorganized with National Guardsmen from Iowa, Minnesota and South Dakota.

  • 1 Gazes of Race, Immigration, and Hegemony in Io Sto Con
    A. TESTA: RACE, IMMIGRATION, AND HEGEMONY IN RECENT ITALIAN CINEMA GAZES OF RACE, IMMIGRATION, AND HEGEMONY IN IO STO CON LA SPOSA (ON THE BRIDE’S SIDE) AND COME UN UOMO SULLA TERRA (LIKE A MAN ON THE EARTH) Author: Alessandra Testa Faculty Sponsor: Simona Wright, Department of World Languages ABSTRACT Voices opposing commonly-held perceptions of immigration, Europe, the Global South, and devastating border control policies are becoming more prominent and are challenging the mainstream narrative. Rigorous border control policies created by individual countries within Europe reflect a feeling of being threatened by immigrants from the Global South who invoke Europe’s colonial past. Differences between the dominating hegemonic gaze enjoyed by Italy actively work to marginalize and silence voices presenting a different, less Eurocentric perspective. This paper traces Italy’s background as a colonial, Fascist power to understand the modern-day foreclosed racial elements and postcolonialist sentiments manifested in immigration policies. They are designed to exclude and make Europe and its Southern Mediterranean border into a fortress. Films and documentaries created by Europeans and immigrants offer striking differences in their creators’ points of view and possibly their biases. Comparing and contrasting Gabriele Del Grande’s crowdfunded, award-winning ‘road film’ Io Sto Con La Sposa (On the Bride’s Side) with Dagmawi Yimer’s documentary Come Un Uomo Sulla Terra (Like a Man On Earth) allows us to understand the differing perspectives’ the construction and manifestation of the other take as the issue of migration is observed from the South and from the North. INTRODUCTION Miguel Mellino’s De-Provincializing Italy: Notes on Race, Racialization, and Italy’s Coloniality uses Italy’s conflicted postcolonial past to understand treatment towards immigrants crossing the Mediterranean.

  • Office of Strategic Services Versus Special Operations Executive
    Office of Strategic Services versus Special Operations Executive Competition for the Italian Resistance, 1943–1945 ✣ Tommaso Piffer Drawing on recently declassified records, this article explores the relationship between the British Special Operations Executive (SOE) and the U.S. Office of Strategic Services (OSS)—the wartime intelligence agencies responsible for espionage, subversion, and other covert activities—in the Italian campaign during World War II.1 Until recently, the extensive Anglo-American literature on OSS-SOE rela- tions focused mainly on the two agencies’ wartime activities in the Balkans and France. The Italian theater received relatively little attention.2 The reasons for 1. The official history of SOE in Italy was published in David Stafford, Mission Accomplished (London: Bodley Head, 2011).

Costa. Since, they have been discovered at some 20 sites, ranging in age from the Middle Villafranchian (Costa S. Giacomo, with both Anancus arvernensis and Mammuthus (Archidiskodon) meri- dionalis), to the Late Pleistocene (S. Anna near Veroli, with Mammuthus primigenius). Most of the relevant faunal record, however, is of Middle Pleistocene age, and is characterised by Elephas antiquus. This species was discovered, most notably, at several archaeological sites, in association with Acheulean industry, starting with Fontana Ranuccio near Anagni, which is dated to c. 450 ka bp by K/Ar. At such sites, bones of Elephas antiquus were sometimes knapped to produce bone tools, including bone handaxes. 1. PROBOSCIDEA IN THE VALLE LATINA Stephanorhinus cfr.

  • WHO's WHO in the WAR in EUROPE the War in Europe 7 CHARLES DE GAULLE
    who’s Who in the War in Europe (National Archives and Records Administration, 342-FH-3A-20068.) POLITICAL LEADERS Allies FRANKLIN DELANO ROOSEVELT When World War II began, many Americans strongly opposed involvement in foreign conflicts. President Roosevelt maintained official USneutrality but supported measures like the Lend-Lease Act, which provided invaluable aid to countries battling Axis aggression. After Pearl Harbor and Germany’s declaration of war on the United States, Roosevelt rallied the country to fight the Axis powers as part of the Grand Alliance with Great Britain and the Soviet Union. (Image: Library of Congress, LC-USZ62-128765.) WINSTON CHURCHILL In the 1930s, Churchill fiercely opposed Westernappeasement of Nazi Germany. He became prime minister in May 1940 following a German blitzkrieg (lightning war) against Norway, Denmark, the Netherlands, Belgium, and France. He then played a pivotal role in building a global alliance to stop the German juggernaut. One of the greatest orators of the century, Churchill raised the spirits of his countrymen through the war’s darkest days as Germany threatened to invade Great Britain and unleashed a devastating nighttime bombing program on London and other major cities. (Image: Library of Congress, LC-USW33-019093-C.) JOSEPH STALIN Stalin rose through the ranks of the Communist Party to emerge as the absolute ruler of the Soviet Union. In the 1930s, he conducted a reign of terror against his political opponents, including much of the country’s top military leadership. His purge of Red Army generals suspected of being disloyal to him left his country desperately unprepared when Germany invaded in June 1941.
