    Refugees in Italy
    Transcript
    [MUSIC PLAYING]
    Easter morn on the Italian front, and with the dawn,
    Allied troops set up loudspeakers
    to announce to the Germans that our services will
    be carried to them.
    For two hours, all fighting ceased,
    an unwritten armistice as friend and foe
    alike pay homage to their god.
    Faith in a foxhole.
    The Nazis conquer and destroy.
    The Allies liberate and save.
    Refugees in Naples are sent to the rear by Allied officials
    to be resettled until they can return to their homes.
    First, they are clothed.
    For many of these people, it's their first taste
    of democracy at work, and they eat it up
    as these Signal Corps pictures show.
    What can more vividly portrayed confidence
    than a baby and a mother?
    Sleep on, little man.
    You're in friendly hands.
