In principle, I recommend the following manner of organization: (a) To select a well-known Italian of military background as the titular head, such a man as Maj. Gen. Pavone, a pronounced anti-Fascist with an exoellent record in the last world war, and u man of reputation and standing. (b) To provide for the assimilation of those volun- teers as a fighting force under the rules of the Genova Convention. (a) To give these volunteers the right to carry the flag of their own country -- Italy. Provide originally for their recruitment in small detachments of "operational groups," such us already exist under directive of the Joint Chiefs of staff, in the cue of American citizen of Italian origin in 088. (e) That instructors from SOE and OSS be attached to these groups for training in modern methode of demolition and in the tactics of irregular warfare. (f) That for the purpose of obtaining immediate organization and employment of these groups, the Office of Strategic Services is prepared to make available suoh funds as may be necessary, and although I have not had the oppor- tunity of seeing our British colleagues, I believe they would also contribute.

Lt. Oen. MARK W. (4.41(K Maus Maj. Oen. Alfred Gruenther) WILLIAM J. DONOVAN, Director of Eitrategic Gervi000. 1. Yesterday, together with Lt. Col. John Whitaker, I talked at Capri with Benedetto Oracle ? well known Itulian philosopher and writer. 2. Mr. Croce, since 1924 has been the most courageoue, massive and effeotive opponent of Yasoism. By published articles and open statements he has denounced totalitarianism and attaoked 'Palmist rule in Italy. The regime feared to arrest him. He 4ss taken refuge in Capri only at the insiatenoe of the Allies in order to avoid darture by the Germans. 3. In the course of our talk, Mr. Croce analyzed the presina psychological state of the Italian oole. including their polvtical thinking and their present attitude towards the war. 714 asked him what he considered the one meet important moans of fusing his people and restoring their self respect? 4. His reply was instant and unequivocal. It is to give them the opportunity to enlist voluntarily in a fighting force under their awn flag to fight by the side of the Allies. 5. I respectfully endorse these views and ouggost that this would be a means of establishing a focal point for re- solving the present difficulties and uncertainties of the various political elements of Italy; would bring to ono plce the, residue of the fighting spirit; would serve to bind the people to the Allies; would give some assurance of earning the right to a free election in the selection of their own goveramodt, and would tribolise their consolidated active resistance to Gerw many and the German Army* 6. In principle, I recommend the following manner of organisations a. To select a welloknown Italian of military baokom ground as the titular head, such as NW41. Gin. Mons, a. prow flounced sintiorasoist with an excellent record in the last world war, and as= of reputation and standing. 4 ?

The assistance of OSS Algiers in this matter is greatly appreciated. Psychologically, at least, activation of Italian combat groups at this time will be of inestimable value. 92,111190.12.Aaill We have been working on the theory that the Ger- mane have not been numerically strong but, being completely mobi:h have been able to give the appearance of strength. Our infor- mation has consistently been that troop and supply mdvemente have been north and that reinforcements have not been furnished. We have also consistently reported tiat there have, for at least 10 days, been few Germane in Naples and along the coast to the ? south. All this has been confirmed by remit arrivals from these areas. Notes The General expressed this opinion when here and can attest that this condition was evident from a visual survey of the area. On the action side we have done nothing except to furnish *Clearance Patrolow and 2.1.9.0.trx for action pending receitt of adequate authority. It is our belief that the Germans are still withdrawing northward and are studiously avoiding any firm con- tact with our forces. This condition vevaile at least to the Volturno- Calore line. Information on conditions beyond this line indicate that no serious resistance need be expected here. The movement is still northward. More of a stand may be made on ?thy lines such as ? On the other hand, German troops in the Ramo area are not numerous and no effort is apparently yet being made to bring reinforcements in this region. The Fifth Army expects to reach the Volturno in about 10 days. /t is our belief that it could be there almost as fast as it can march. There are undoubtedly tactical and strategic reasons wbky a rapid advance may not be deemed advisable. Notes We examined at this Headquarters, last evening, an Italian Major (Campello) and Captain (Cerulli-irell) who had just made their way (along the east coast) from Rome which they left on the 15th. These officers are both in the Italian Intelligence service and are on their way to join the Italian 7th Army (naw forming near Taranto). They seem to be keen observers and a copy of their reported information is being enclosed. These gentlemen have left a radio operator and set in Rome. Not only do they confirm the observations made above but they have, in return for our meagre hospitality, promised to cooperate with this organization. Their leastorill be useful. , ?
