Post-war
As with other former members of Nazi combat formations veterans of the Italian SS division found employment in the CIA-orchestrated organizations of illegal and clandestine political warfare in an "anti-communist" role. Several former Italian SS men (like Pio Filippani Ronconi) were involved with the deviated branches of Italian Secret Services and Stay-behind formations used to spread insecurity and terror among the general populace in the 60s and 70s (Strategia della tensione), to dissuade Italians from bringing left political parties to power.

Famous quotes containing the word post-war:
“Much of what Mr. Wallace calls his global thinking is, no matter how you slice it, still “globaloney.” Mr. Wallace’s warp of sense and his woof of nonsense is very tricky cloth out of which to cut the pattern of a post-war world.”
—Clare Boothe Luce (1903–1987)
