6) The shooting of the Italian soldiers

On p. 133, Desbois writes:
At a curve in a road, next to a garage, we met another old man, Adolf. Thin,
short in stature and with short hair, he is a self-proclaimed 'militant of
memory'. He invited us in, saying that he still had some Polish newspaper
articles mentioning the body-burning squad. He shows them to us and says, 'I
was present at the execution of the Italians. I climbed up into an oak tree
with some friends and I saw the Italian soldiers'". We began to realize the
extent of the massacre. The testimonies all agree, and, even if no one is
able to reconstruct what happened, they nevertheless inform us of what had
happened (emphasis added).

Another example of Desbois's "faith-based" methodology in action.

His witness continues as follows:
At this point, I salvaged the text of a survivor, Wells. This Jew worked in
the camp of Janowska, an extermination camp at Leopoli. Book in hand, I
followed the itinerary described by the writer, until we arrived at the same
forest. Another confirmation (emphasis added).

Before commenting on this last paragraph, "Adolf's eyewitness testimony"
really ought to be quoted:
And the executions of the Italians?
They were in uniform with their plumed hats; the poor boys didn't know that
they were about to be killed and they undressed calmly. Their clothes were
thrown into boxes. Since it was feared that they might escape, there were
more Germans than usual. At any rate, they were led out in front of the
graves as usual. We were amazed how resigned they were (p. 135).

The translator of the Italian edition of the Desbois's book, Carlo Saletti,
informs the reader in a note:

According to the reports drawn up by the Soviet investigatory commission,
the Germans murdered several thousand Italian soldiers at the sites utilized
at Leopoli in the weeks following September 8th. The news was carried by
Soviet sources in 1986-87, causing a sensation in our country. The then
Minister of Defense, Giovanni Spadolini, created an investigatory commission
intended to shed light on the reliability of this information. [.]. The
findings of this investigatory commission cast doubt upon the alleged mass
executions (note 47 on p. 133).

On this topic, Erika Lorenzon wrote:

The debate which followed served to awaken people's interest in the Third
Reich, and the fate of Italian POWs in the Soviet Union, with numerous
articles in the Italian daily newspapers. While the preceding denunciations
had produced a muted response, the communiqués of January 1987 were widely
taken up and discussed by the Italian mass media, awakening a wave of
emotion and raising many questions: the Soviet revelations, suitably
verified, might shed light on the fate of thousands of Italian soldiers
listed as missing on the Eastern Front. The Ministry of Defense, at that
time headed by Giovanni Spadolini, thus formed an investigatory commission,
presided over by Under-Secretary Tommaso Bisaglio, then by Senator Angelo
Pavan, together with military and academic authorities who had participated
in the war, such as Giulio Bedeschi, Mario Rigoni Stern and Nuto Revelli. In
June of the following year, the latter published his findings in a report
declaring that the massacre perpetrated against Italian soldiers at Leopoli
should be considered assertions not yet basically proven; this statement,
however, is counterbalanced by a minority report written by Lucio Ceva,
Rigoni Stern and Revelli, who considered that the massacre could not be
completely disproven, "although there are still reasonable grounds for doubt
which make it impossible to consider the matter proven."18

But an asserted, unproven event remains just a rumor, because neither the
testimonies repeated by the Soviets, nor the testimonies considered to
constitute "concordance of evidence" by Desbois, has any value as proof. In
practice, the good priest has simply collected a concordance of rumor.
