Abstract:
Articles 118 and 119 regulate the release and repatriation of prisoners of war after the cessation of active hostilities. These two articles deal with different situations from those addressed in Articles 109–117, which contain rules on the direct repatriation or accommodation in neutral countries of prisoners of war during hostilities.Keywords:

Despite the issue of Italian prisoners of war during the Second World War receiving some significant attention, the fate of those prisoners held by the Yugoslav state has not yet been thoroughly examined. This is largely a consequence of the lack of sources, which is also why this issue has been treated superficially in the literature. The present article aims to fill this gap, focusing in particular on the repatriation of Italian prisoners of war held in Yugoslavia after the Second World War. Employing material from archives in the UK, Italy, Serbia, Slovenia and Switzerland, the author will reconstruct the process of repatriation by delving into international diplomatic circumstances and Italo–Yugoslav relations, as well as the political and ideological dynamics which affected the fate of those prisoners. The study will also provide a count of the number of Italian prisoners of war in Yugoslavia, which up to this point has been unclear.

At the end of 1946, some 650,000 Axis prisoners of war were still held in France. These men were being used as forced labour in order to repair the damage inflicted by the German invasion. At the Moscow conference in April 1947, the four Allies signed a repatriation agreement : all Pows were to be sent home by December 1948. How did the French government face up to the need to repatriate these POWS, whose labour was considered essential for post-war reconstruction ? The attempt to turn some of them into « free workers » encountered administrative, political, cultural and diplomatic obstacles.

Abstract The article discusses the organization and process of repatriation of American prisoners of war and interned civilians liberated from German captivity by the Red Army. It presents legal grounds of repatriation, the adopted principles of arranging the repatriation process, the territorial network of komendanturas and camps where the liberated citizens were kept, the living, medical and sanitary conditions in the mentioned units, the evacuation routes, the means of transport, the number of the repatriated, the rules of the work of teams of contact officers. A detailed analysis of the above-mentioned issues reveals the complicated and tense relations between the United States and the Soviet Union in the final years of World War II . It also perfectly illustrates the attitude of the USSR towards the American ally, which was characterized by failure to follow agreements, disregarding the requests and petitions from US representatives, and delaying a lot of shared actions.

Between October 1914 and December 1915, some 89,335 Indian sepoys-as Indian rifl emen were known-supplemented by 49,273 Indian labourers served on the Western Front, fi ghting at Ypres, Festubert, Givenchy, Neuve Chapelle, Second Ypres and Loos, suffering some 34,252 casualties. 1 In December 1915, British commanders permanently withdrew all of the Indian infantry from Western Europe and redeployed the men to fronts in the Middle East.
