Cold War and The British Role in Non-extradition
Yugoslavia requested Roatta's extradition to no avail, and he along with the other Italian war criminals were never tried, as their German counterparts were at Nuremberg, for the crimes they had committed because the British wanted to bolster the remnants of the fascist government as a guarantee for an anti-communist post-war Italy.
The Italian public and media largely repressed their collective memory of the atrocities committed during the War, which led to historical amnesia and eventually to historical revisionism - two Italian film-makers were jailed in the 1950s for depicting the Italian invasion of Greece.

“A cold coming we had of it,
Just the worst time of the year
For a journey, and such a long journey:”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
“The contention that a standing army and navy is the best security of peace is about as logical as the claim that the most peaceful citizen is he who goes about heavily armed. The experience of every-day life fully proves that the armed individual is invariably anxious to try his strength. The same is historically true of governments. Really peaceful countries do not waste life and energy in war preparations, with the result that peace is maintained.”
—Emma Goldman (1869–1940)
“A girl? Hey, that’s better in a way. A boy needs more from a father.”
—Margaret Forster, British screenwriter, Peter Nichols, and Silvio Narizzano. Jos (Alan Bates)
“Recent studies that have investigated maternal satisfaction have found this to be a better prediction of mother-child interaction than work status alone. More important for the overall quality of interaction with their children than simply whether the mother works or not, these studies suggest, is how satisfied the mother is with her role as worker or homemaker. Satisfied women are consistently more warm, involved, playful, stimulating and effective with their children than unsatisfied women.”
—Alison Clarke-Stewart (20th century)
