Walter Marx - Accomplishments of Italian partisans
Transcript: I believe that the Italian partisans were very effective in pinning down a certain amount of German troops in the area that had we not pinned them down, these troops would have been fighting the invading Allied armies coming up from the southern part of Italy or from the French portion, from France, towards the northern part of Italy. And of course, the Italians, partisans, were ultimately in a position to arrest Mussolini and to put an end to the fascist regime in Italy. I believe that the Italian partisans did a lot to re-establish the good name of the Italian people by wiping out some of the bad things that the fascist had committed. And by putting themselves on the side of the Allies, they negated the portion that Italy had played in being part of the, uh, fascist Axis comprising Germany, Italy, and Japan.
