8 September 1943After the fall of Benito Mussolini on 25 July 1943, the new government under Marshal Pietro Badoglio negotiates with the Allies.

On 10 September, the release of ‘nationals of an enemy state’ from the concentration camps (campi di concentramento) was decreed. Political internees and other ‘categories’ had already been released earlier. ‘Gypsies’ were disregarded and were therefore not yet released.

South Tyrol, Trentino and Belluno are administered as ‘Operational Zone Alpine Foreland’, the provinces of Udine, Gorizia, Trieste, Pula and Fiume as ‘Operational Zone Adriatic Coast’.
