Brazilian Memorial
By Mr. Trend has a nifty little post about Brazil’s World War II Memorial. Brazilian Rangers served in Italy in World War II, and Brazil’s navy conducted anti-submarine patrols in both wars. Mr. Trend doesn’t mention, though, that many of the officers who served with Brazil’s expeditionary force in Italy developed close ties with their American counterparts and would later participate disproportionately in the junta that ruled Brazil between 1964 and 1985.
