Talk:Dodecanese campaign

message: In the Egean area there were pro-German Italian tropps, too. On October 17, 1943 the Germans yelded Rhodos to the Italian Social Republic and an Italian regiment (Regiment "Rodi") was garrisoned on the island until May 8, 1945.
: It may well be that the Germans did - entirely on paper - return Rhodes to the RSI, but there, as in the whole of Greece, they exercised complete control until they either left (in the mainland) or were evacuated after Germany's capitulation in May 1945. There were several cases were Italians served with the Germans (whether out of commitment to Fascism or because they had no other choice), but they did not engage in any major operation during the Dodecanese campaign (they were neither trusted nor well enough trained or equipped) or during any major anti-partisan operation in the Greek mainland. The Italian formations appear to have been used primarily as local garrisons, AA and auxiliary troops, etc. Cplakidas 13:25, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, you are welcome to add the relevant info in the "Aftermath" section. I'm not quite sure what you mean by "The Italians (but also the Germans) of Rhodos weren`t involved in battles because the operation "Accolade" (foreseen for Oct. 23, 1943) didn`t take place.". The Germans attacked the Italians on Rhodes on orders from the OKW, fearing (rightly) that they might go over to the Allies. I think the article is pretty clear on that...

message: Is it possible that Captain Corelli's Mandolin (film) has some connection with the massacre of the Italian officers on Kos? Thomas R. Fasulo (talk) 23:07, 28 August 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: No, it depicts the Massacre of the Acqui Division in Cephallonia. Such events were not that uncommon then, unfortunately. Constantine   ✍  23:53, 28 August 2010 (UTC)

Describe Soldarelli as well disposed towards the British, the Blackshirts refusing to take orders from him, and him organizing the resistance against the Germans and later taking his men to Turkey and to Allied-controlled territory.--Olonia (talk) 15:33, 16 December 2015 (UTC)
