The Massacre of the Italian Acqui Division, Cephalonia, September 1943

The Massacre of the Italian Acqui Division, Cephalonia, September 1943 With Damian Valle Part of Moments in History Week    • Moments in History   Following the Armistice of Cassibile and the subsequent German occupation of Italy (Operation Achse/Alaric), Italian troops stationed across Europe faced a critical decision. They had to choose between aligning themselves with the new government under Badoglio and the King or siding with the emerging fascist state, the Republic of Saló, and the German forces. Amidst the tumultuous events of September 1943, the Italian garrison stationed in Cephalonia made the courageous choice to resist the German attempts to disarm them and take control of the island. This is the history of the heroic resistance of the Acqui division and the massacre of Cephalonia, one of the worst war crimes of the Wehrmacht in southern Europe. This is depicted in the book and movie Captain Corelli's Mandolin. Our guest today is Damian Valle. Damian is a Veterinary Clinical Teaching Fellow at the University of Surrey. He studied his Veterinary Medicine Degree in Spain and Italy and he is currently studying for a Masters in Military History. In his spare time he volunteers as an archivist at the Museum of Military Medicine (RAVCs archives) and collaborates regularly with one of the top History podcast in Spain, Casus Belli, covering Italian doctrine and equipment during WW2.   / dvm_vet   Damian's previous appearances on WW2TV Italian Tank Destroyers https://youtube.com/live/h2TfmYB12Lw Roles and Research - The Royal Army Veterinary Corps in WWII https://www.youtube.com/live/DGQGPx-fq8I You can become a YouTube Member and support us here    / @ww2tv   You can become a Patron here   / ww2tv   Please click subscribe for updates Social Media links -   / ww2tv     / ww2tv     / ww2tv   WW2TV Bookshop - where you can purchase copies of books featured in my YouTube shows.
