Hello Gentlemen,

Thx in advance
Regards

I hope someone knows it, I'd be interested as well. He survived the war and continued his career in the Italian military, that's all I know.

Here's a picture of him after his surrender of the Halfaya position. From Ebay.

Perhaps you have already found the date of his death, but anyway
He died on the 4th February 1964 in Rome. Strangely his death notifications in La Stampa gives his name as Federico de Giorgis.

Dear Steen

I have looked at the picture you use, and I am reasonably convinced it is a photoshop, since I cannot see a situation where Gen. de Giorgis would have worn the Ritterkreuz. It was awarded when he was in captivity, and he joined the Royalist forces after his release. Why don't you change it for a more appropriate one like the one here:

If you would like me to I can also translate his biography on the Carabinieri site.

Hi Urmel,
Thank you. I haven't given it much thought but will replace it. I believe however that it is contemporary retouched press photo and not a photoshop, though the difference is small when it comes to correctness.
