Italian War on the Eastern Front, 1941–1943
Operations, Myths and Memories
«
“Bastian Matteo Scianna’s book is a welcoming addition … . The author’s mission throughout his volume is clear … . The Italian War on the Eastern Front, 1941-1943, Operations, Myths and Memories is a mandatory book that should be on the shelves of those who want to nuance the history of not only the Eastern Front, but the Italian army in the Second World War, going beyond the prejudices of the Operetta Army trope.” (Emanuele Sica, War in History, Vol. 28 (4), 2021)
“... Gemeinsam mit der Gegenüberstellung von Memoirenliteratur, theoretischer Wissenschaftsdiskurse und innenpolitischer Narrative entsteht ein pluralistischer, die wichtigsten und divergenten Blickwinkel umfassender Methodenzugang, der geeignet ist, tradierte Mythen nachhaltig zu dekonstruieren. Scianna hat zweifelsohne einen bedeutenden Beitrag zur Versachlichung der Frage nach dem Wirken italienischer Soldaten an der Front zur Sowjetunion 1941-1943 geleistet, der als eine Landmarke für die nachfolgende Forschung dient.” (Richard Germann, in: Connections, 24. April 2021)»

Mining Italian, German and Russian sources, he examines the history of the Italian campaign in the East between 1941 and 1943, as well as how the campaign was remembered and memorialized in the domestic and international arena during the Cold War.
