In contrast to the “new arrivals” from Germany or Austria, most of the almost 20,000 British people with Italian roots had been in the UK for a long time. Many adults were first or second generation British citizens. The government under Churchill targeted them long before Italy entered the war and also accused them of a hostile position towards Great Britain in a sweeping and defamatory manner. Research published in October 2024 contains for the first time a list of names of 707 Italians whom the British government wanted to deport to Canada on the Arandora Star.

On the run from the Middle Ages
Overpopulation, poverty, a lack of economic development and almost feudal conditions in the countryside and in agriculture until the 20th century led around 25 million Italians[1] Cf. Wikipedia about Italian Emigration (German) retrieved on 20.11.2024. to seek a future worth living abroad between 1860 and 1960. In the first five years alone after Mussolini came to power in 1922, 1.5 million Italians left their homeland. Among them were certainly many who wanted to escape political persecution by the fascists. Mussolini slowed down the economic exodus by deliberately resettling people in the colonies of Libya, Ethiopia and the Horn of Africa[2] Cannistraro, Philip V.; Rosoli, Gianfausto (1979). "Fascist Emigration Policy in the 1920s: An Interpretive Framework". International Migration Review. 13 (4), 673. Loc.cit. Wikipedia about Italian Diaspora, retrieved on 20.11.2024..
The number of Italians living in Britain in 1940 was put at around 20,000[3] Cf. "Internment of enemy aliens in 1940: The fate of Italians resident in a Britain at war" (The National Archives UK) and BBC People’s War, Civilian Internment 1939 -1945.
. They were an integral part of everyday life. Many set up small businesses in the food industry, catering or trades. Some established themselves as managing directors or company owners over the decades. There were Italian Catholic communities in the country, which was dominated by the Anglican state religion. In the capital London, an Italian community[4] Peter and Leni Gillman „Collar the Lot!‘ How Britain interned and expelled ist wartime refugees“, London 1980, ISBN 0-7043-2244-7, page 147. had already established itself before the First World War with many stores in “Little Italy”.
Between xenophobia and fear of war

Even before the start of the Second World War on September 1, 1939, the newspapers of the British pro-Nazi ultra-right waged a xenophobic smear campaign against people of non-British descent. This mainly affected the approximately 70,000 Jews and Nazi opponents who had fled Germany and Austria, even though the British “Black Shirts” carefully avoided any public appearance of anti-Semitism.
With the fall of Belgium, the Netherlands and France and the evacuation campaign following the Battle of Dunkirk in late May/early June 1940, fears of an invasion of the kingdom by the Nazi army grew. The right-wingers stoked these fears and coupled them with xenophobia in order to destabilize the country.
“The newspaper articles expressing the greatest xenophobia[5] Gillman, loc.cit., page 149. at that time were not Italian, but British,” British historians Peter and Leni Gilmans commented on the situation at the beginning of 1940. They gave the following sample:
“The London Italian is an indigestible unit of population. He settles here more or less temporarily, working until he has enough money to buy himself a little land in Calabria, or Campagnia, or Tuscany. He often avoids employing British labour. It is much cheaper to bring a few relations into England from the old home town. (…) Black facism. Hot as Hell. Even the peaceful, law-abiding proprietor of the back-street coffee shop bounces into a fine patriotic frenzy at the sound of Mussolini’s name …”
This hate message, drawn by a John Boswell[6] Ibid., was published by the tabloid Daily Mirror[7] Wikipedia about the British tabloid founded in 1903, retrieved on 10.8.2024. on April 27, 1940.
Subsequently, people of all foreign origins were spied on and persecuted on behalf of the government. Thousands of immigrants and foreigners were interned. This happened regardless of their nationality, length of life and service in the kingdom, British citizenship or previous escape from racist or political Nazi persecution.
Blacklists prepared the roundups
Immediately after Mussolini’s declaration of war on June 10, 1940, the arrests of 4,100 Italian men and women whose names were on the black lists began. Osbert Peake[8] Peake in the House of Commons May 29, 1940, retrieved Sep 2., 2023., Under-Secretary of State, called it a “prime objective to remove from circulation known members of the Fascist Party and all male Italians between the ages of 16 and 70 with less than 20 years’ presence” (emphasis in original). Peake contradicted himself here by first populistically naming the enemy Fascists, but then placing “all male Italians[9] sbert Peake, Under-Secretary of State at the Home Office, House of Commons, 6.8.1940, cited in François Lafitte, “The Internment of Aliens”, page 72.” on the same level of persecution as them. Peake was, of course, fully in line with Churchill’s “Collar them all!” directive.
François Lafitte published the first comprehensive analysis of Churchill’s internment and deportation policy as early as September 1940. He could not escape the impression that the local police chiefs[10] Francois Lafitte "The Internment of Aliens", Penguin 1940, page 73. in charge of the arrests often discovered “special information” or developed “doubts”. As a result, a large number of men were put behind bars even though they “had every right to an exemption (from internment, ed.)”. The arbitrariness of the arrests affected all people with foreign roots, whether refugees or “residents”.
Whether it was “special information” or simply denunciations for political or economic reasons: One gets the impression that Italians – for example from the catering and hotel industry (especially in London) – were pushed out of certain sectors through internment and deportation. The political refugees – i.e. opponents of Mussolini – who were in the minority among the Italians could also be made to disappear from the political scene in England.
The British intelligence filled black lists[11] Ibid, page 152. of “questionable characters” with the names of Italo-Britons long before Mussolini declared war. These blacklists had been based “extensively on membership of the fascist party”.
Giorgio Enrico Scola (1916-2009) was one of the survivors of the Arandora Star who were deported to Australia on the Dunera shortly afterwards. He was one of the British of Italian origin arrested on false charges by MI5. Julian Scola published excerpts from his father’s diary under the title “12,000 miles behind barbed wire”.

Leni and Peter Gillman described a problem faced by many Italians: sometimes it seemed expedient to come to terms with the embassy or even to join the Fascio party. They kept up appearances[12] Gillman loc.cit, page 148., occasionally attended events or donated some money – without sharing or even propagating the political positions of the Fascio party. It was not checked who really posed a threat.However, errors had only occurred “in about a dozen cases”. This was claimed by Lord Snell, who was commissioned by the government to “investigate” the deportations. “Lord Snell did not consider that the number of errors could be a reason for serious criticism,“ stated a newspaper report[13] The Guardian about the Italians on the Arandora Star, page 6 on 20.12.1940, retrieved on 31.8.2023. at the time on the whitewashing of the internment policy.
Just “British by accident”?
The British authorities treated people of Italian descent no worse and certainly no better than the refugees from Germany and Austria. One important difference, however, was that many of the Italians concerned were not foreigners, but British citizens. This is evidenced by the indication “resident” in the official personal files.
This recollection by internee Alberto Pacitti[14] Quoted in “Fifty Months and Ten More Days”, Memoirs of Alberto Pacitti, retrieved on 30.11.2024. shows how the British government followed the xenophobic campaigns and dragged its own citizens through the mud because of non-British roots: “Once, allegedly in the House of Lords, the Home Secretary was asked why a young British man (he was obviously thinking of me) was interned without having committed a crime. The Home Secretary replied: ‘These young men are British by accident!”
On June 14, 1940 – four days after Italy’s entry into the war – 1,687 detainees with Italian roots were counted in London’s Oratory School alone.
An “anglicization” in the hospitality industry?
Brits of 2nd choice?
“My mother and I are British born, and my sentiments are all with this country. My father, an Italian, came to this country, and fought for the Allies in the last war, when he was badly wounded in the head. … He had no political ideas and he did not belong to any association. … On June 11 he was taken away to be interned. On hearing of the Arandora Star beeing torpedoed we were rather worried. We found that he was on the Arandora Star and posted missing. Up to the present we have not had any news from the authorities at all. I am an only son and will soon be twenty. I applied to join the L.D.V.[15] Wikipedia über Local Defense Volunteers and Auxiliary Fire Service of British Home Defense, retrieved on 20.10.2024. but was turned down because my father was Italian, I managed to join th A.F.S.; you can imagine the state of mind of my mother, who has long been in delicate health. …”
This was quoted by Graham White MP from a letter from a young Italian in the British House of Commons[16] Lafitte loc.cit, page 125..
The Gillmans give the following example of the work of the domestic intelligence service MI5[17] MI5 was also involved in the internment of many German and Austrian Nazi victims and their deportation to Canada or Australia.. The manager of the Claridge Hotel in London, F.V. Cochis, was dismissed without notice after 21 years with the company. He and his family had to vacate the hotel’s official residence immediately. The group boss Oyly Carte explained that he had nothing against him, but gave political reasons[18] Gillman loc.cit. page 150.. Cochis later learned that his name had been placed high up on a blacklist.
The Gillmans cited further examples from London’s gastronomy: Italo Zangiacomi had been general manager of the Ritz Hotel for 30 years, Cesare Bianchi was head chef at the Café Royal, Carlo Ettore Zavattoni was banquet manager at the Savoy Hotel. Lodovico Bertorelli was known for ice cream, which was sold in the City of London from handcarts labeled with the family name. The Pini family[19] Ibid, page 148. had already left Italy in the 19th century. Senior Serafino ran several restaurants in London, one near Picadilly Circus. The aforementioned and numerous members of the Pini family were arrested. Bertorelli survived the Arandora Star and was deported to Australia; Bianchi remained in British custody. Zangiacomi and Zavattoni died in the sinking[20] The first names and fates of the men mentioned by Gillman loc.cit. were inserted after comparison with the list of names by Alfonso Pacitti. of the Arandora Star.
Persecuted: Britain’s friends and allies
It quickly became clear that the wave of arrests was not only aimed at fascists, but (as with Germans and Austrians) at opponents, persecuted people and victims of the dictatorship. This group of people included the well-known socialist politician Claudio Treves, who produced propaganda programs for the Italian BBC service, and his brother Piero, a student. Their cousin Uberto Limentani[21] Alfonso Pacitti, “Umberto Limentani” and autobiographical contribution, retrieved on 20.11.2024., also a BBC employee, was also arrested. He survived the Arandora Star and was released on July 31, 1940. The anti-fascists also included A.F. Magri, who had possibly made himself unpopular with relevant British circles as chairman of the Italian League for Human Rights. Dezio Anzani[22] Gillman loc.cit., page 155., secretary of the League, was arrested, deported and went down with the Arandora Star.
The Churchill government provided a particularly blatant example of disrespectful treatment of its own citizens with Alberto Loria[23] Ibid.. The Jew with Italian roots came to Britain in 1911 and served the country in the army during the First World War. He was married to a British woman and had two daughters born in the UK. His work in the Ministry of Munitions was recognized with the Order of British Empire (OBE), the country’s highest award for civilian service. The fact that people like him were nevertheless imprisoned can only be seen as a victory for the Nazi‘s „5th column“ in the UK.
Warth Mills – „the worst camp“
Friends or foes?
“The basic problem that arises is to decide whom we are fighting against. Are we fighting the Germans as a people, the Austrians as a people, the Italians as a people? Or are we fighting Nazis and Fascists whereever we meet them, all who seek to reduce the whole of Europe to a condition of slavery, whatever their nationality or mother-tongue? Do we regard every German, Austrian or Italian as our enemy, or do we believe that in every country there are people who think like us and who are not our enemies?”
This was François Lafitte’s response in 1940 to the British government’s xenophobic policy and the statement by Foreign Secretary Lord Halifax[24] Lafitte loc.cit., page 29., who claimed on the BBC on July 22, 1940: “In Germany, the people have surrendered their conscience to Hitler, so that people have become machines that only carry out orders without thinking about whether they are right or wrong.”
Two weeks after Mussolini’s entry into the war, 4,000 Italians and 300 British citizens of Italian origin[25] Ibid. were imprisoned. Many of them were locked behind barbed wire at Warth Mills in Bury, near Manchester. This former cotton factory was “by far the worst internment camp we know of”, Lafitte researched: “It is an unused factory, falling to pieces, rat-infested, with rotten floors, broken windows and a broken glass roof.” According to one inmate, 2,000 people were incarcerated[26] Lafitte loc.cit, pages 101/102 contains a detailed report. in these abhorrent conditions, which were certainly illegal under British law, among broken machinery.
R.A. Haccius, representative of the International Committee of the Red Cross (IDE), had sharply criticized the “dilapidated condition, the lack of light and the poor hygienic conditions, including the small number of taps, the lack of hot water and the filthy toilets” after his visit to Warth Mills on 12 July 1940. He also included “the inadequate infirmary with only 30 beds for 250 internees who required special treatment” on his list of complaints.
Not only Italians[27] Cf. Wikipedia, „Internierungslager im Vereinigten Königreich im Zweiten Weltkrieg“ (German) (internment Camps during 2nd WW), retrieved on 24.11.2024. were imprisoned in Warth Mills. Among the inmates there were a number of German artists such as Kurt Schwitters, Hellmuth Weissenborn, Peter Gellhorn and Paul Hamann (who was a British citizen). The German prisoner and graphic artist Hermann Fechenbach initiated a hunger strike because of the poor treatment. As a result, he was transferred to a prison in Liverpool and later – like his fellow prisoner Kurt Schwitters – to Hutchison Camp on the Isle of Man. He was released in 1941.
After the closure of this place of horror, a large number of the prisoners from Warth Mills were to be taken out of the country[28] „Warth Mills“ online, retrieved on 24.11.2024. on the Arandora Star.

The Arandora Star was the second of five ships on which thousands of internees were to be deported overseas. It set sail from Liverpool on July 1, bound for Newfoundland. The very next day, it was hit by a torpedo attack from Günther Prien’s submarine U 47 and sank in the Atlantic within a few minutes.
“The Arandora Star was carrying 14 lifeboats, with a capacity of no more than 1,000 people. There were 1,564 on board[29] Gillman loc. cit. page 198..” ‘The lifeboats were secured behind heavy wire netting (some witnesses spoke of ’barbed wire’ and reported cuts to survivors) and were only large enough for the original crew of 400”.
The British Shipping Minister Cross[30] Minutes of Question Time in the House of Commons on July 9, 1940, retrieved Aug 20, 2023. claimed that boats and life rafts were “more than sufficient”. The 1st officer of the Arandora Star F.B. Brown[31] Gillman loc.cit., page 198. countered this: Although 20 life rafts were thrown overboard, “the three large rafts were overfilled and the others were practically unusable … It was impossible to save more”.
To the embassies of Switzerland and Brazil, which represented the interests of Germany and Italy in Britain, Churchill’s government[32] The British Foreign Office on 4.7.1940 to the two embassies, quoted in Gillman loc.cit., page 197. made this perfidious accusation against the prisoners: “More lives would probably have been saved had not many of the prisoners of war and internees refused to make use of the rafts, which were at once thrown overboard when the ship was torpedoed.”
Uberto Limentani (1913-1989) also worked in the BBC’s Italy department. A proven opponent of Mussolini’s fascists, he became a victim of the British xenophobia. His report “Escape from the sea” appeared in a British university magazine in 1980/81.

“… drowning like rats …”
The most important factor standing in the way of evacuating as many people as possible was the barbed wire: it was reported ‘that the obstruction of access to the lifeboats was ordered despite the protests of the ship’s captain. Captain Moulton[33] Michael Kennedy, „‘Drowned like rats'. The torpedoing of Arandora Star off the Donegal Coast, 2 July 1940“, page 3. National Maritime Museum of Ireland, Online, retrieved Oct. 20, 2024., who remained at sea, was quoted with this drastic assessment: “If anything happens to the ship, this wire will obstruct the passage to the boats and rafts. We shall be drowned like rats”.
According to the BBC[34] Cormac McGinley 2004, BBC-online-forum WW2 People’s War“, quoted from ibid. witnesses reported that British soldiers ‚shot holes in the lifeboats to stop internees from escaping‘“. “There are no reports of distress drills being carried out. “Safe evacuation of prisoners in an emergency was clearly not a priority[35] Alastair Maclean „The Lonely Sea“, 1985, quoted from „Arandora Star“ on a privat Website fort he Scottish village of Knockan, retrieved Oct 15, 2023..“
Most of the Italians were accommodated on the lowest deck A. On the way to the hoped-for rescue, they lagged behind the men who were simultaneously trying to escape from the higher cabin decks. “Many people, especially the sick and elderly and those from the lower decks of the ship, could not reach the open decks or were unable to jump overboard,“ reported an eyewitness[36] Gillman loc.cit, page 198/199.

The Italians therefore had the worst chances of survival. This is confirmed by the research published in October 2024 by Alfonso Pacitti[37] Alfonso Pacitti „Arandora Star: analysis and ‚Embarkation Listing‘ of Italians‘“, published in Modern Italy, Octobre 2024, retrieved on 15.11.2024.. According to his list of victims, 38 of the 46 Italians over the age of 60 drowned. Five were hospitalized after being rescued and three were shipped to Australia. Not even the certainly more agile young people fared any better: of 13 Italians born from 1920 onwards, only four survived[38] Both age groups: Own calculation according to Alfonso Pacitti loc.cit. the torpedoing.
Government denied protection in a convoy
The sinking and the casualties initially had no consequences for British government policy. Aware of the loss of the Arandora Star, the War Cabinet sent another transport of internees to Canada the day after it sank. The Cabinet ordered that the Ettrick also not be allowed to travel in a convoy[39] War Cabinet, Minuites of 3.7.1940, page. 28. The National Archives (TNA). and forbade the foreign countries to be informed about this transport. Previously, the Duchess of Yorck and later the Sobieski and the Dunera were also sent on their journey without escort. The voyage without escort was justified by the higher speed of the passenger ships, which of course did not prevent the attacks on the Arandora Star and the Dunera. However, the question of the British government’s responsibility for the internees and prisoners of war is also debatable.
The 2,500 prisoners on the Dunera, among them 200 Italian survivors of the Arandora Star, were lucky in the misfortune of this horror voyage that the torpedo attack on this ship failed. It was only when the events during their voyage became known that the public forced a change in British asylum policy.
New findings about the deported Italians
At the time, the British ministries provided different information about the number of men of Italian descent deported on the Arandora Star. Official statements spoke of 712 to 734 Italians, of whom 446 to 486 had died. The fact that the British government was unable to correctly inform the public about its own deportation actions seems to illustrate the extent of the official disinterest in these people.
Alfonso Pacitti estimates that there were 442 victims and 265 survivors out of a total of 707 Italians. He compiled a list of names[40] Pacitti loc.cit. and included an access list from the Mearnskirk Hospital in Glasgow for the first time. This enabled him to identify 63 sick or injured Arandora Star survivors. He assumed that the two missing names were due to errors in bookkeeping. Of these 63 patients, 59 were discharged from hospital by July 11, 1940, the others by the second half of August. All but one were initially held in internment in a camp in Edinburgh and later transferred to the Isle of Man. Two of these men died during internment.
Deported to Australia
On July 10 – just a week after narrowly escaping death on the Arandora Star – 200 of the Italian survivors were taken to the Dunera to be locked away behind Australian barbed wire.
Apart from marginalia and spelling, according to Pacitti[41] The National Archives of Australia (NAA) summarized both documents in the file Item No. 657104, retrieved on 15.8.2022. the British “Embarkation List” and the Australians’ “Disembarkation List” match. The survivors of the Arandora Star on the Dunera – i.e. 200 Italians and 250 Germans and Austrians (including many Nazis) as well as more than 150 other Nazi victims – were disembarked in Melbourne and transferred to the Tatura 2 camp[42] The camp was located in the state of Victoria, Murchison is about 160 kilometers, Tatura 180 kilometers north of Melbourne. Compound B. Five internees died there, Pacitti researched. They were buried at the Italian National Ossario[43] 130 Italians who died in Australian camps during the Second World War are buried in this military cemetery near Murchison (Victoria). Monument Australia about the Italian National Ossario, retrieved on 29.11.2024. in Murchison, around 20 km from the town of Tatura.
The majority of the Italians deported to Australia were repatriated between 1941 and 1946 and sent to Great Britain on ships. On board the Abosso were, among others, seven Italian and 36 German and Austrian internees on their way back to the UK. After a torpedo attack by U-575 near the Azores on October 29, 1942, only Ugo Achille Bonelli of the 43 was savedLike him, Guiseppe Crolla, Giovanni Gazzano and Allessandro Pacitti also survived the third torpedo attack of their lives when their ship Waroonga was sunk on April 4, 1943 by the Nazi navy.

Of the internees with German and Austrian roots, several hundred acquired Australian citizenship or a right of residence. For most of this group, returning to their country of birth was out of the question for a variety of reasons. The deported Italian men saw other life prospects for themselves. They wanted to return to their families, to their homeland of Great Britain. Only eight of the 200 Italians acquired Australian citizenship and stayed Down Under.
Five internees died there, Pacitti researched. They were buried at the Italian National Ossario[41] The National Archives of Australia (NAA) summarized both documents in the file Item No. 657104, retrieved on 15.8.2022. in Murchison, around 20 km from the town of Tatura.
707 Fates: The lists of names
Italian survivors of the Arandora Star disaster who came to Australia on the Dunera.
200 of the Italians who survived the sinking of the Arandora Star by the skin of their teeth were sent to the Dunera just eight days after this horror experience. During the 57-day horror voyage, they suffered another torpedo attack. They then found themselves in Australia behind barbed wire in the remote village of Tatura.

Legend:
(1) … Ugo A. Bonelli was the only one of the eight Italian, 36 German and Austrian internees who survived the sinking of the Abosso by U-575 on October 29, 1942. Mario Depangher is not listed here. Due to his birth in 1917 in Trieste, then Austria, which fell to Italy in 1918, he was sometimes listed as German-Austrian, sometimes as Italian. Of a group of eleven internees, Guiseppe Crolla, Giovanni Gazzano, Allessandro Pacitti and two Germans survived the Waroonga torpedoing on April 4, 1943.
(2) … eight men remained in Australia after internment. Giuseppe Rossi returned to Australia from England in 1950 and was the ninth ex-internee to apply for Australian citizenship.
(3) … five men died in the internment camp and were buried in Murchison.
The Italian victims of the Arandora Star sinking
442 of the 707 Italian deportees were victims of the sinking of the Arandora Star by the submarine captain Günther Prien, who was elevated by the Nazis to the status of a “sea hero”.

Please note: Curt Sigmar Gutkind from Mannheim had escaped to Italy after the Nazis had taken away his interpreter‘s school. He was naturalized there in 1936. However, his Italian citizenship was revoked in 1938 in the wake of anti-Semitism there and he made it to England.
65 Italian survivors of the Arandora Star sinking who remained in England.
Alfonso Pacitti researched this list of 65 names of Italian survivors of the Arandora Star sinking by analyzing the files of the Mearnskirk Hospital in Glasgow.

Please Note: According to Alfonso Pacitti, two entries are incorrect – probably due to erroneous notes made by the hospital – so that only 63 men are accounted for.
Please note: We thank Alfonso Pacitti for permission to publish his list of the 707 Italian men on the Arandora Star. He published several biographical articles worth reading online about his family members and other victims of the British internment policy of Italian descent.
The Pacitti family left Italy at the start of the 20th century. For Alfonso, the Arandora Star and the Dunera have a personal dimension. Both his grandfathers (Alfonso Pacitti and Silvio Bertolini) perished as a result of the torpedoing of the Arandora Star . Two of his great-uncles were also on the boat; Carmine Pacitti who perished and Pasquale Pacitti who was rescued and immediately deported to Australia on the Dunera. Pasquale was interned at Loveday Camp 9 where he died in 1942.
Alfonso Pacitti is a Genealogist and an active member of the Arandora Star Research and Memorial community.

We would like to draw your attention to the website The Dunera Italians, which was launched in January 2025. There, Australian historian Joanne Tapiolas traces “200 Men 200 Stories” – the stories of the Italian civilian internees who were brought to Australia on the Dunera a few days after narrowly surviving the Arandora Star torpedoing. Joanne also explores the fates of Italian civilians and POWs who were imprisoned in Australia by the British during World War II or arrested in Australia because of their Italian ancestry.
