Italian population to move away from the larger centers.  
Just as if the poor Italians were rich tourists, all of which possessed   
villas outside Mlan and Turin." I had not chosen this argument by mere   
chance, as I had a presentiment, that there was a rift between my   
listener and Mussolini. And in fact, as I cited "smoking at five"  
Clano's face lightened up in a large understanding smile.  
But when I mentioned the Mussolini advice to move away from  
the large cities, he interrupted me at once. "Not only that'."  
he cried, but the government does nothing. They advise the  
Italians to move out of Milan, Turin and Genoa, they advise  
hundreds of thousands, maybe millions, and what does the  
government do? Not one single thing to prepare lodgings  
for all these people , not one single preparation to assist  
them in any way. They give an advice - and then they wash  
their hands. And that is not all. Mussolini says, that  
the Italian soldiers are good, if they are well commanded  
and well armed, fine'. And who has the responsibility of  
commanding them well? Who is the one to arm them well?"I  
looked at him in great surprise. Then I said "I wish to give  
Mou an advice. Please do not talk that way in the future,  
because You will have trouble." He shrugged his shoulders.  
 "From Mussolini I have nothing to fear." Tragic ingenuity.

The conversation turned once more to the Germans. As it is over   
a year and a half since this private talk  
took place - and being that it was a very long one, I cannot  
possibly remember everything that was said, or the different  
turns of the conversation, nor why and how we came to pass  
                          from...
