8. The British also let the Italian POWs run around free.
I heard anecdotal stories from older friends who had fought in the war that our G. I.'s would buy them drinks in the pubs because they had no money and the English girls were lined up to date the handsome Italian men. I met a immigrant English woman in LA, who had married one of them before they came to America where he worked as a chef.
