[Homer_J_Simpson]

Prime Minister to General Ismay, for Chiefs of Staff Committee 21 May 43

I should be prepared to go further as follows:

“Statements will be made in public (possibly by the President and the Prime Minister) making it perfectly clear that the Italian people would have a free and independent life as one of the historic nations of Europe. We wish to see Italy freed from its Fascist tyranny, to resume its place, under a democratic system, as a member of the European family. In these months Italy has a last chance of avoiding the further tribulations which will otherwise fall upon her.”

The Army propaganda should work in harmony with this theme.
