Last year, the remains of about 200 Italian prisoners in Russia were returned to Italy.\n\nDuring World War II, at least 250,000 Italian troops were sent by Italian dictator Benito Mussolini to help allied German Nazi forces, but most lacked the warm clothing and cold-weather survival skills of the Soviets.\n\nWith most of their vehicles broken down or lost in battle, the Italians trudged in retreat often traveling hundreds of kilometers during the winter of 1942-43. Many dropped dead in forced marches to prison camps. Others survived the cruel journey, only to die in camps as far away as Siberia.\n\nAn estimated 70,000 Italian soldiers never returned from the campaign. (From the Mos News)\n\nI would contact the Italian Embassy in Moscow and ask what they are doing to locate the missing Italian prisoners.\n\nGood luck.  Those that weresn't killed outright often died in the prison camps later.  Very few made it back.

The military doesn't keep those pics. They might today, but not back then.\n\nFind out what unit or units he served with and then search online to see if they have a veterans association. You can ask them if they have any year books or cruise books or the like from his era.\n\nHis old unit may have a page at military.com too.\n\nIt's probably impossible to find a copy of his boot camp photo.

The last I heard, they had approved a utility uniform that uses a pixelated pattern a la USMC MARPAT or ARMY ACU, but it is different in pattern and color.  I believe the chest pockets are still vertical (not slanted) among other differences from the other guys.  They did ditch the corny blue tiger stripe thing, though.\n\nhttp://capblog.typepad.com/capblog/images/041008f5064j020.jpg

I think he even had a Chicago T shirt on when he surrendered. He was REAL happy to make it to American lines ok and they were really surprised when they captured him.

Initially, the German army was one of the best, if not the best army in WW II.  Hitler was very helpful in decimating that army with his plunge into Russian in June 1941.  After that, the Red Army, the Russian Winter and Hitler's blunders destroyed the Army.  Troops in Russia with no winter clothes and Hitler's refusal to let Paulus and the German 6th Army break out of Stalingrad are a couple of examples of wasting fine troops.\n\nWhen the Allies landed at Normandy, the German army they faced was still a force to be reckoned with.  But a combination of Allied pressure and dwindling natural resources brought about by the day and night bombing of Germany, soon reduced the effectiveness of German army.  The Bulge further depleted the Wehrmacht.\n\nNear the end, the German army was using kids and old men.  The veterans and especially the NCOs had long been killed.

I worked for Germans ..its in their blood. When people think of "the GESTAPO" they think of b movie SS guys following you around. That was not true. The GESTAPO for the most part were just beurocrats, clerks for the most part who shifted through info that people were giving them. The neighbors WOULD SPY ON EACH OTHER, and they would turn each other in. In East Germany they kept the same system, but it was the STASI. I have some eurotrash german neighbors, and the grandma said knew by boss and would report me cause I told her to shut the he11 up!My old job I was told on all the time, either to the boss, or to the friggin union, because I wouldnt put up with their crap.The left wing guys over here are really funny...they will spend all day talking about how they hate the cops and how they are big anarcists and the law is all scum, but again when I told a guy he was full of it the first thing he screamed was "Im gonna call the police"  I really wish we gave them the Morgantau Plan instead of the Marshall Plan

Try as I might, I was unable to locate very many actual pictures, though there is much reference to this obviously important WWII facility.\n\nMy suggestion is to contact some of the people whose email addresses appear at:\nhttp://www.wingsoverkansas.com/about/contributors.asp\n\nWings Over Kansas seems to have a lot of information about the entire pre - post war efforts in Wichita, and by personally contacting some of the historians and contributors, you could very well glean more information from them than is readily available on the web.\n\nGood luck with your search.  If I run across more, I will post it here.

The change in uniform was years earlier, 1953 or 1954.  The new style emulated the uniforms Hungary sported when they trounced England twice in friendly matches, 6-3 at Wembley and 7-1 in Budapest.\n\nEngland was still in the process of rebuilding their team when the Yanks lucked into the 1960 win.

Otto Skorzeny was a storm trooper extraordinaire.  He was a devoted Nazi through and through and was a favorite of Hitler.  He ran a successful mission to rescue Mussolini towards the end of the war.  He ran infiltration groups dresses as American soldiers during the Battle of the Bulge.  He also alledgedly was involved in setting up the Odessa escape organization that helped my Nazis flee Germany and head to South America.  He was not necessarily a very nice guy, but he certainly was the "go to" paratrooper for the Third Reich.  He was called the "Most Dangerous Man in Europe", led a fascinating life, and died of cancer at age 67.

Im not sure about soldiers wearing the uniforms, but many pilots did during the early phase of the war. Many USAF pilots frustrated with their own countrys lack of action left and came to the UK to join the RAF.

Thank you for your kind words. I am a retired Marine (due to injury in Iraq) Just wondering, have you ever seen a Marine in his Dress Blues?

No, but his nephew William Patrick Hitler did. He moved here to escape his uncle and joined the US Navy in WW2.
