I think the total Italian/German contingient interned totalled 90k. Maybe 80k were Italians, I dunno.

I do know Joe Dimaggio's dad had his fishing boat seized fm Fisherman's Wharf.

BTW I had no idea there was still such a thing as an Enemy Aliens Act still in effect.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italian_American_internment gives you the numbers of Italians in various categories. The trick is they came up with a number of Enemy Aliens but they didn’t put them into camps. The Roosevelt regime made a deal with these citizens of a fascist dictatorship that allowed them to be put OUTSIDE that category. The numbers you have refer to the number of folks in a category; not to the number put into camps.
