Part Five - Other European "Free Men"
Chapter 1 - Italy
The Growth of the Italian Resistance
The story of the Italian Resistance Movement begins with Benito Mussolini and the rise to power of his Blackshirts. In many ways Adolf Hitler based his Brownshirts on Mussolini's Fascist philosophy. But the foundations were quite different.
Germany, humbled by the Treaty of Versailles which ended WWI, was trying to make a desperate comeback as a world power. Italy, under Mussolini was endeavouring to unify a country that only became one nation in 1961. It was trying to become a world power. Unlike Germany, Italy was still dominated by the Vatican and social inequalities and internal politics had always had always been the bane of its existence.
Mussolini joined the Partito Socialista Italiano, the PSI, which had sprung from the "Fasci di Azione Rivolutionari", the first "fascio" whose views were leftish, anti-capitalist and anti-religious. These early "Fascists" had the broad support of the conservatives and businessmen most of who were worried by the growth of the trade unions.
After invading and defeating Emperor Haile Selassie of Ethiopia in 1936, Mussolini made a pact with Hitler to form the Rome-Berlin Axis and in January 1937, sent 50,000 Italian troops to fight against the Communist International Brigades in the civil war in Spain. The opening prelude to the symphony of WWII was being played.
Italy joined Germany and Japan in a pact against Communism which had always been a clandestine political organisation, particularly strong in the industrial north of the Italian peninsula.
In 1940, Italy declared war on Britain and France. In October of that year, Italy disastrously attacked Greece through Albania, without Hitler's knowledge. In June, 1941, Germany invaded Russia and in December, Japan attacked Pearl Harbour followed by a formal declaration by Italy of war against the USA.
WWII was indeed to be a global war.
London became the centre of Governments-in-exile of many European occupied countries lead by France and was the nerve-centre of efforts to "re-kindle the lights of Europe" as Churchill expressed the sentiment. Active "Resistance Armies" were formed, supplied and directed from London and local patriots in enemy occupied countries drew a very fine line between themselves and terrorists. In Britain itself, the massive job of re-invading Europe was under way.
The psychological turning point in the struggle by Europe for its liberation was the eventual defeat of Hitler's armies at Stalingrad, breaking the myth of Axis military invincibility. With it the writing was on the wall for the for the fall of Fascism.
The Italian working class, predominantly Communist, began to assert itself and the March strikes in Milan and Turin dealt the Fascists their first deadly blow (A6 p32). The Committee of National Liberation (CLI) in the north, managed to transcend party political interests, and the success of the co-operation between the six major political parties that made up the CLI was the success of the Italian Resistance, which became one of the first and brightest lights to shine again in Europe.
These six Italian political parties of the CLI, each with two members, were-
Communist Party - (Trade Unions)
Socialist Party - (Anti-Monachists)
Christian Democrats - (The Catholic Party)
Monachists - (Royalists and many Liberals)
Republicans - (Anti-Royalists, Anti-Communists)
Liberals - (Midddle class professionals, Anti-Communist, Anti Monachy, Anti-Church)
While many partisan and patriotic groups formed, they were not all politically based. North Italian partisans, unlike the conscripts of the Italian Army, were not fighting imperialistic wars in North Africa, but were fighting for their own homes and an independent manner of existence. For them it was a personal war, bringing out their best individual characteristics of endurance, self-sacrifice and raw courage.
This was to profoundly change the general attitude to Italians formed by the AIF in North Africa. When the Italian Armistice was signed some 20,000 allied POW including 2,000 ANZACS were "on the loose" in the North Italian mountains. Many members of the AIF fought alongside local Italian partisans, fed and succoured by Italian peasants, who took enormous personal risks in doing so.

15352 Pte Patrick George Brown 6NZ Bde 2NZEF.
In September 11, 1943, Italian guards freed the 80 inmates of their work camp, 106/XIX/Salussola/Barracone. Brown and 3 others stayed for a few days and then went to Sala, where they met an Italian who promised to arrange for them to get to Switzerland. No guide was forthcoming and after a certain amount of firing by Germans in the village below, the escapers were persuaded to disappear into the hills. Brown went to Netro from where he and 6 others tried again to enter Switzerland, but had to turn back. They then went to Donato where they remained for five weeks, but had to move off because of Fascist activity.
On their return they lived in the hills above the village for a period of about two months during which time one of the party, Pte A.H.P. Smith 2/32nd Inf Bn AIF, was re-captured by Fascists in January, 1944. Owing to the difficulty in avoiding Fascists, Brown and another New Zealander, G.A. Schultz moved higher into the hills living in the snow. In March 1944, they descended to a lower level and joined a partisan band at Andrate until Brown left for France. Owing to the inability of the partisans to provide them with weapons, their activities were confined to occasional patrols.
T. Brown with two other New Zealanders and two Australians, shot and killed a fascist at Sala, early in July 1944. This man had previously denounced 5 partisans to the enemy who captured and executed them. In October, Brown was guided into France and with 24 other escapers was guided to the Americans at Val d'Isere on I November, 1944.

During the voyage of the "Nino Bixio" from Benghazi to Italy, with 2,000 allied POW on board, it was torpedoed about 24 hours out. McLean was wounded in the back. The ship was towed to Greece and he was sent to Patras as a walking casualty. After 10 days was sent to Bari Hospital by hospital ship where he remained until 27 September, 1943.
McLean went into the hills where they intended to wait for allied troops who they thought would be arriving immediately. A few days later they met an Italian who took them to Lilliana. On 22 October, they went to Netro where they stayed with an Italian family until January 1944. Then they moved into a small village in the mountains until the middle of October where they joined Brown and the others.

Giuseppe Bacciagaluppi - Italian Patriot
Giuseppe Bacciagaluppi was an Italian engineer and was employed by F.A.C.E., the Italian subsidiary of the giant American Standard Electric Corporation, which had a factory in Milan producing telecommunications equipment. He spoke English fluently and in fact, was married to an English woman. The couple lived in a large home in Milan and also had a holiday cottage at Calde on the shores of Lago Maggiore, which is part of the border between Italy and Switzerland.
It is therefore not surprising that immediately after the Italian Armistice he and his wife set about establishing a network to assist Allied POW wandering near their home in Milan, to get to Switzerland, via Lago Maggiore. He recruited members of his factory staff, and sympathetic local Italians to organise this escape route and was given responsiblity and funds by the Committee for Liberation of North Italy to carry out this task. John Peck of Australia and George Patterson of Canada, became active and valuable members of this organisation.
Before he was betrayed by a colleague and arrested by the Gestapo on April 4, 1944, his organisation helped hundreds of Allied POW to reach sanctuary in neutral Switzerland. He managed to escape from from the San Vittore Prison in Milan on July 8, 1944 and immediately re-established himself in Lugano on the Swiss shores of the lake.
Known under the nom de guerres of "Ig Rossi" ,"Anfossi" and "Joe", his area of his responsibility and escape routes was divided into four zones:
1. Piemonte via Val d'ossola and Luino
2. Lombardia via Brescia, Bergamo and Varese
3 Emilia via Lago Maggiore.
4. Veneto via Brescia, Bergamo, Lake Como and Valtellina
The Milano network is credited with helping 965 Allied POW to reach Switzerland and the funds spent in these efforts totalled Lira 7,800,000.
The details are set out in his paper "Rapporto finale sull'attivita svolta dal CNLAI in favore di ex prigionieri di guerra di guerra alleanti" published in "Il Movimento di Liberazione in Italia Sommario", Nr. 33 Novembre, 1954.
His organisation made extensive use of the North Italian railway system.
For a good account in English of his partisan activities amd modus operandi see "A Strange Alliance" by Roger Absalom (F2 p39-44).
Guiseppe Bacciagaluppi was finally arrested and interned by the Swiss in January 1945, but escaped back into Liberated France. He was recommended for a British decoration for his outstanding help to the Allied cause, but this was rejected by the British Government on the ground that it was inappropriate to honour an Italian citizen.
