The Italian officers protected not just Italian Jews, but Jewish refugees of every nationality. To the Germans, their actions were inexplicable and subversive.
German and Italian fascist armies in the Second World War treated the Jews quite differently. Jews who fell into the hands of the German army ended up in concentration camps; none of those taken by the Italians suffered the same fate.

Some of those same officers had sanctioned savage atrocities against Ethiopians and Arabs in the years before the war.

As a renowned historian of both Germany and Italy, he is uniquely placed to answer the underlying question; why?
