ITALIAN EMBASSY
WASHINGTON, D.C.
MEMORANDUM
FOR MR. TRUMAN
PRESIDENT OF THE U. S. A.
ON THE POSITION, WISHES AND HOPES OF ITALY.
1.
Twenty-two months ago, on September 3, 1943, the Armistice
was signed between Italy and the United Nations, putting
an end to a war in which the Italian people were thrust
against their will by Fascist dictatorship and which they
always disapproved and opposed.
Such Armistice, the duration of which has no precedent
in our times, is still in force today in spite of the fact
that Italy has not remained inactive, but has on the
contrary enthusiatically joined, since October 13, 1943,
the cause of the Allied Nations, taking full part in the
common struggle against the enemy.
During twenty months of co-belligerency, Italy has
fought at the side of the Allies, with her whole fleet, the
forces of her regular army, her air corps, and with more
than two-hundred thousand patriots. In the northern provinces
under German tyranny, the Italian people have also bravely
taken part in the struggle with their active and organized
underground forces, contributing in bringing to a speedy and
successful end the fight for liberty and democracy on Italian
soil.
All. through these months of common struggle Italy has
endured miseries and sacrifices and suffered tremendous ruins
which have brought destruction to a great part of the country.
