Scope and content

SZ refers to the article 'Marsala, missiles and Mafia' in the 'Listener' of 28/4/83. The article mentions that the Florio [railway] yard was devastated in a two-hour Allied bombing raid on Marsala in 5/1943. SZ states that he was there when the raid was planned and laid on, and on a visit a couple of months later he saw relatively little damage.

A copy of the article is at [SZ/BSU/5/3/20].
