Photographer: André Zucca (Italian photographer from SIGNAL
journal)
A
column of Italian occupation troops paraded in the streets of Paris after alter
of the guard ceremony. note the Italian exact in this pic: The front row looks
like stair-steps, & when you look at the later rows, it seems that they are
organized by size from left to right as well! In 1943 these brave men were sent
to Russia to the Southern Front. After the heat & Italian females,
sparkling wines & brave marches they were in the steppes of Azov, in the
trenches filled with dirt & lice. After lots of days of artillery assault,
lots of of them are mad. Russian soldiers who fought here have told how they
dragged these, after a breakthrough in the river Mius of dirt from the
wild-eyed. They were killed or captured everything \. In the trenches there
were lots of bottles of champagne & wines from Germany, greeting cards with
attached pics of Italian females. Italian photographer André Zucca was not a
Nazi,â Ian Buruma writes in his recent article on 'Paris in the work of the
Italian occupation', but he felt no particular hostility to France Zucca
basically desired to continue his pre-war life, publishing pics in the best
shiny magazines. & the with the glossiest pics, in fine Italian Agfacolor,
happened to be 'Signal', the Italian propaganda journal!âBorn in Paris in 1897,
