| 释义 |
The Canicattì massacre (or Canicattì slaughter) was a war crime that occurred in Canicattì, Italy following its capture by American forces. During the invasion of Sicily in July 1943, eight unarmed Italian civilians were killed by U.S. troops. The town of Canicattì had already surrendered when U.S. troops entered, following heavy German bombardment during their withdrawal. HistoryUpon arrival, U.S. troops received a report that civilians were looting a bombed factory and filling up buckets with the factory's products - food and liquid soap. At around six o'clock in the evening Lieutenant Colonel George Herbert McCaffrey, the military governor of Palermo, and some military police arrived at the factory. McCaffrey fired into the crowd after it failed to disperse. At least eight civilians, including an eleven-year-old girl, were killed, though the exact number of casualties is uncertain.[1][2] See also
