Massacre of the Acqui Division
The Massacre of the Acqui Division, also known as the Cephalonia Massacre, was the mass execution of the men of the Italian 33rd ''Acqui'' Infantry Division by the Germans on the island of Cephalonia, Greece, in September 1943, following the Italian armistice during the Second World War.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Massacre details )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Greek Embassy in Washington, D.C. )〕 About 5,000 soldiers were massacred and others drowned or were otherwise murdered. By November 1940, when the Italians were pushed back into Albania, the Germans had to come to their aid. But following the decision of the Italian government to negotiate a surrender to the Allies in 1943, the German Army tried to disarm the Italians in what they called Operation Achse. Between 13 and 22 September 1943, on the island of Cephalonia, the Germans fought the Italians of the 33rd "Aqui" Division. A total of 1315 were killed in battle, 3,000 were drowned when the German ships taking them to concentration camps were sunk and 5,155 were executed by 26 September. In general, the Germans did not battle or massacre the Italians in other areas. It was one of the largest prisoner of war massacres of the war, along with the Katyn massacre of approximately 22,000 Poles by Soviets,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Massacres and atrocities of WWII )〕 and it was one of many atrocities committed by the 1. ''Gebirgs-Division''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Mörder unterm Edelweiß – noch immer unter uns ("Murderers under the Edelweiss — still among us") )〕
The massacre provided the historical background to the novel ''Captain Corelli’s Mandolin'', which later became a Hollywood film.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Corelli's comrades )〕
