ORG. TODT SARAJEVO

An interesting item mailed by feldpost to Vicenza Italy on 31.10.1943 
Feldpost number Fp. 05386
(27.1.1942-14.7.1942) OT-Leitstelle Sarajewo,
(24.3.1944-6.11.1944) 12.7.1944 OT-Oberbauleitung Mostar.

Following Italian capitulation Italian  soldiers in NDH had 3 options, a) to go on collaborating  with German forces (around 10% did so and almost all of Blackshirts),  b) become prisoners - and  become forced labor in Reich or  c) join Partisans.
There were around 430 000 Italian soldiers stationed in  Balkans , a large part of it was in NDH.
Most of them choose to become prisoners, some joined Germans and very few joined Partisans.
This letter is probably from an  Italian man who joined Germans and worked in Org.Todt. Letistell Sarajevo , NDH
German and Italian  censorship visible
