Comments:
In Perugia, the capital of the region of Umbria, there was a military headquarters of the Nazis as well as a special court for judging opponents of the Nazi regime. Opponents of the regime and partisans were sent to concentration camps where many died.
Internati Militari Italiani - This is the name the Germans gave to the Italian soldiers who were captured
