(To AGWAR for Combined Chiefs of Staff and to USFOR for British Chiefs of Staff signed Eisenhower cite FHMGS NAF 282. BIGOT HUSKY.) Therefore there seems to be some advantage in having prepared beforehand a joint communication to be made by them which would calm the Pope not only by giving assurances that Vatican territory would be respected but also by drawing attention to the promise of the Allied forces in General Eisenhowers message to the Italian people that freedom of religion will be maintained. If the communication were drafted in such a way as to appeal to Catholic opinion both in Italy and abroad it could serve a useful propaganda purpose. Please furnish us with any text without delay. Should there be difficulties in communicating with the American and British reprosentatives at the Vatican, the message could be broadcast direct to the Pope and repeated in other broadcasts immediately.

They are doing this not as enemies of the Italian people, but as an inevitable part of their war to destroy the German overlordship of Europe. Their aim is to deliver the people of Italy from the Fascist Regime which led them into the war, and when that has been ac- complished, to restore Italy as free nation. Franklin D.

Accordingly, the Fascist Party Organization will be disolved, and its appendages such as the Fascist Miltia and the so-called Youth Organ- izution will be abolished.

On other hand probability is that this false news will be picked up and spread in US and UK. In seeking to deceive enemy we may deceive our own people with possible far reaching repercussions particularly if success of operation is not as rapid as we hope.

With reference to your proposed announcement to the Italian people to accompany proclumation number 1, the following revised announcement has been approved by the Combined Chiefs of Staff. Changes from your proposed announcement are indicated below in quotations. Revised announcement begins: 1. The Allied Forces are occupying Italian territory. They are doing this not as enemies of the Italian people, German overlordship of Europe. Their nim is to deliver the /ronklin D. Roosevelt Library DECLASSIFIED TCS 29-71 but as an inevitable part of their war to destroy the people of Italy from the Fascist regime which led them into the war, and when that has been accomplished, to restore Italy as a free nation. 2. The Allied Forces have no intention of changing or undermining the Craditional laws and customs of the Italian people. They will take all necessary measures, however, to eliminate "The Fascist system in whatever Italian territory they occupy. Accordingly, the Fascist Party Organization will be dissolved, and its appendages "such as" the Fascist Vilitia and the so'called Youth Organization will be abolished. Fascist doctrines and propaganda in any form will be prohibited. No political activity whatsoever shall be countenanced during the period of military government. 3. In furtherance of the policies of the Allied Governments proper steps will forthwith be taken to "stop the operation in HORRIFIED of all laws which discriminate on the basis of race, color, or creed." Freedom of religious worship will be "uphold" and, to the extent that military interests are not prejudiced, freedom of speech and press CH-OUT-S570 (20 Jun 43) jb & 8571 COPY No. 11 310 Hushy THE MAKING OF AN EXACT COPY OF THIS MESSAGE IS FORBIDDEN DECLASSIFIED E.

"Heasures will be taken for prompt release of political prisoners," The special tribunal for the de- fense of the state will be abolished. 5. "Commander in Chief expects all Italians to assist the Allied Forces in maintaining order and re- storing peaceful conditions. Unless otherwise notified all civilians arc called upon to continue their normal functions." Following paragraph is not part of revised announcement: 6. Suggest you redraft paragraph starting "These evidence the principles" and ending "by quick and total 'victory," placing emphasis on delivery from Nazi youre and without mention of Fascist regime in this paragraph. In this part of proclamation emphasis should be placed on factor likely to have psychological appeal to Italians, namely their dislike of Germans, rather than opposition to Fascism with which substantial proportion of Italians have come to identify themselves. In any case it is de- sired that words "and Fascist" be deleted. Revised announcement continues below: 7. The Military Governor of the occupied territory will take action to carry into effect the foregoing measures as military conditions may permit. Revised announcement onds. Reasons for the above changes are as follows: Item A para 2- for purposes of clarity and because there may be other Fascist appendages not specified which you may de- sire to abolish.

The primary difficulty vas the length of time required for establishing Naval communi- cations in the Tunisian area. BIGOT HUSKY, To the British Chiefs of Staff from The Commander in Chief. Repeat to the United States Chiefs of Staff. In all amphibious operations them is a period during which the Navy is in complete control of the Land and Naval forces, and during which period complete dependence must be placed upon Navel communications. For this reason, nothing less than perfection in Naval communications can be considered satisfactory and it was possible to provide these only on Malta, unless an unacceptable delay in the date of the attack were decided upon. On the other hand, Malta cannot possibly be considered as a practicable general headquarters during the whole of the operation. The major sirforces and higher direction of air operations will still be located in the continent of Africa and follow up and reinforcing ground formations will come from the same areas. Therefore, the main HUSKY headquarters had to be established in the Tunisian area, To overcome as far as possible the difficulties inherent in this situation, the present plan was adopted. Under this plan the main Naval headquarters will be set up in Malta and General Alexander, myself and Air Chief Marshal Tedder, or a representative empowered to act Prom (CM-IN-11906 19 Jun 43) grat 11 COPY No. THE MAKING OF AN EXACT COPY OF THIS MESSAGE IS FORBIDDEN 310 Husby DECLASSIFIED E.

Thereafter, direct communication between the ground forces and the main headquarters will be established, and General Alexander and I will shift back to the Tunisian area with the Air Chief Marshal. From that time on, it is believed that no great difficulty will be experienced in coordinating Naval action with air and ground operations but, in any event, the 2 places are separated by less than an hour by air. It is the opinion of Admiral Cunningham, in which I concur, that no additional experts could eliminate the essentials of our difficulty and that the plan we have adopted, while not in complete conformity with our desires, is never- theless the least objectionable of any that can be devised. We are fully alive to the necessity for the most intimate kind of cooperation among all services. Nosig NOTE: Reference is not identified in WDCMC.

The Allied Forces are occupying Italian territory. They are doing this not as enemies of the Italian people, but as an inevitable part of their war to destroy the German overlord ship of Europe. Their aim is to deliver the people of Italy from the Fascist regime which led them into the war, and when that has been accomplished, to restore Italy as a free nation. The Allied Forces have no intention of changing or undermining the traditional laws and customs of the Italian people. They will take all necessary measures, however, to eliminate the doctrines of Fascism.

Fascist doctrines and propaganda in in any form will be prohibited. No Political activity whatsoever shall be countenanced during the period of Military Government. In furtherance of the policies of the Allied Governments proper steps will forthwith be taken to annul all laws which descriminate on the basis of race, color or creed. Freedom of religious worship will be promulgated and, to the extent that military interests are not prejudiced, freedom of speech and press will be instituted. Political prisoners will be promptly released, The special tribunal for the defense of the State will be abolished. Other than Fascist leaders and Fascists politiciass, officials of Italian Government who desire to serve the Italian people will be retained, conditioned on their satisfactory cooperation, performance and behaviour. The Military Governor of the occupied territory will take action to carry into effect the foregoing measures as military conditions may permit. These evidence the principles to which the Allies are attached and for the reestablishment of which they will relentlessly fight. They are principles to which the Axis leaders, under German domination, are opposed. You will be beneficiaries of their defeat. It is therefore your interest, as men whose fathers fought for their freedom, not to resist the Allied arms, to facilitate their mission-The lifting of the Nazi and Fascist yoke from Europe by quick and total victory."

Nevertheless it may well be that his work in connection with the HUSKY oprea- tion makes it impossible for him to go to Washington now.

The Combined Chiefs of Staff (BIGOT-HUSKY) have resolved: (A) That forces and equipment shall be established in the United Kingdom with the object of mounting an operation with target date 1 May 1944 to secure a lodgement on the con- tinent from which further offensive operations can be carried out. The scope or the operation will be such as to necessitate the following forces being present and available for use in the United Kingdom by 1 May 1944, in addition to the Air Forces then available. Assault: 5 Infantry divisions (simultaneously loaded in landing craft), 2 Infantry Divisions-followup, 2 Airborne Divisions. Total 9 Divisions in the assualt. Buildup: 20 Divisions available for movement into lodgement area. Grand total 29 Divisions. The possibility of adding 1 French Division will be considered at a later date. The expansion of logistical facilities in the United Kingdom will be undertaken immediately, and the seizure and development of continental ports will be expedited in order that the initial Assault and Buildup Forces may be sugmented by followup shipments from the United States or elsewhere of additional Divisions and supporting Units at the rate of 3 to 5 Divisions per month.

Which of the various specific operations should be adopted, and thereafter mounted, is a decision which will be reserved to the Combined Chiefs of Staff. The Allied Commander in Chief in North Africa may use for his operations all those forces available in the Mediterranean Area except for 4 American and 3 British Divisions which will be held in readiness from 1 November onward for withdrawal to take part in operations from the United Kingdom, provided that the Naval vessels required will be approved by the Combined Chiefs of Staff when the plans are submitted. The additional Air Forces provided on a temporary basis for HUSKY will not be considered available. It is estimated that the equivalent strength of 19 Pritish and Allied, 4 United States, and 4 French Divisions, or a total of 27 Divisions will be available for Garrisons and operations in the Mediterranean Area subsequent to HUSKY. These figures exclude the 4 United States and 3 British Divisions to be transferred to the United Kingdom and the 2 British Divisions constituting the British Commitment to Turkey. It is further estimated that there will be available after HUSKY .total of 3,648 aircraft including 242 heavy bombers (day and night), 519 medium bombere (day and night), 299 light and dive bombers, 2,012 fighters, 412 trans- ports, and 164 army cooperatives.

"Most certainly ve cannot tell the Italians that if they cease hostilities they vill have a peace with honor. We cannot get away from unconditional surrender.

The 4 heavy Near groups of the 12th Air Force and the 2 heavy groups of the 9th East Air Force are at fell airplane strength.

Section 1 begins. The Combined Chiefs of Staff with the concurrence of the State Department and the British Foreign Office have approved the following statement of policy upon which plans for psycholo- gical warfare including propaganda should be developed with Fogard to operation HUSKY. For Eisenhower Fortune Algiers and Unfor London for British Chiefs of Staff, FAN 117 from the Combined Chiefs of Staff. This in reply to NAF 163. Begin statement of policy. It is important to distinguish between the policy to be pursued up to the moment of the invasion of Italy and the policy to be pursued after that period. In the first period a firm line should be followed, without any promises, and should emphasize the following 4 points as the basis of joint British- American propaganda: Point 1: We should lose no opportunity to point out the hopelessness of Italy's present position in the war to the Italian people. Point 2: The War against Italy should be pursued by attacking by land and sea and air upon all possible occasions and with all possible force. End of 1st section.

For Eisenhower Fortune Algiers and USFOR London for British Chiefs of Staff, Fan 117, from The Combined Chiefs of Staff. Point 3: by all possible means passive resistance and sabotage of the Italian War effort should be encouraged. Point 4: Appeals to premature revolt or ridicule of the Italian Armed Forces or the Italian people should be avoided. Immediately before invasion takes place, and for the period succeeding the assault, this line should be modified to the extent of holding out some ray of hope to the Italians about their future, the Allies being presented in the guise not of conquerors but of liberators. The following point should then be added. Point 5: We should hold out assurances that Italy will survive as a nation after the defeat of the Fascist Government, without making any specific territorial commitments. End statement of policy.
