Alceo Valcini was the Warsaw-based correspondent for the Italian daily “Corriere della Sera” during the years 1933-1946. Valcini encountered great difficulties with the editor-in-chief of the newspaper, Aldo Borelli, who was not interested in following the political life of Poland except for Poland’s clashes with the Soviet Union. Valcini managed to publish his articles as long as they stressed the influence of Mussolini’s fascism on Polish political life or if they dealt with Soviet political interference in Central Europe. Valcini was to be replaced by another journalist as correspondent from Warsaw because of his own pro-Polish views and scarce enthusiasm for the aggressive stances of Nazi Germany towards Czechoslovakia and Poland, but he nevertheless managed to witness Hitler’s aggression against Poland. His stories were the first accounts of German persecution of the Polish Jews and Warsaw’s civil population, although they had no chance of publication on the pages of the increasingly pro-Nazi “Corriere della Sera”. Valcini took notice of everything that happened in Poland between the outbreak of the war and the end of July 1944. In 1945, Valcini collected his memoirs in a publication entitled The Calvary of Warsaw, in which he gave a graphic account of life in the city under German occupation. Valcini witnessed to the uprising in the Jewish Ghetto and to the activities of the Polish Secret State. His book was translated into Polish in 1970, after having undergone heavy editing, possibly as a result of intervention by the Communist censors. In any event, Valcini turned out to be one of the very few Italian journalists who – in writing about World War II and the Nazi occupation of Poland – did not fall prey to Goebbel’s Propagandaministerium, unlike the much more celebrated reporter Indro Montanelli.

Over the period directly following the Second World War, continuity and discontinuity were closely interwoven in the Walloon literature. From one hand, esthetic models from Interwar period were still present and no novel concepts appeared in the writings of Walloon authors. From the other, however, a large number of new State-run institutions were inaugurated. The hardships suffered during the war, seen mainly as an instance of disruption, are abundantly described in literary works, especially in testimonies. It is in this context that Arthur Haulot, Belgian poet and novelist, made prisoner and taken to Dachau, created his literary poignant output. His writings are marked by harsh experiences undergone in camps.

W wyniku ustaleń układu Sikorski-Majski w 1942 r. do Iranu dotarły dwie wielkie fale Polaków – zesłańców ze Związku Radzieckiego. Żołnierzom armii gen. Andersa towarzyszyło również blisko 40 tys. cywilów. Zgodnie z założeniami mieli być jak najszybciej ewakuowani przez siły brytyjskie dalej, jednak sytuacja na frontach i problemy logistyczne powodowały, że realizacja tych planów przeciągała się w czasie. Dla wielu Iran stał się schronieniem na parę lat. Polacy pozostawili tam po sobie bogatą spuściznę publicystyczną. As a result of provisions of the so-called Sikorski–Majski Agreement, in 1942 two large waves of Poles exiled from the Soviet Union arrived in Iran. The soldiers of Gen. Anders’ Army were accompanied by almost forty thousand civilians. According to the accepted terms, they were to be further evacuated by the British forces as soon as possible, but the situation in the war fronts and logistic problems hampered a swift implementation of these plans. For many Iran became shelter and home for several years. The Poles who were there during World War Two left a rich journalistic heritage in Iran.

Guomindang China took an important position in American ideas about making war against Japan as well as about post-war arrangement. However political instability of Chiang Kai-shek’s regime nor his military possibilities did not correspond with such ideas. His weakness fully manifested itself during a Japanese operation Ichi-Go in 1944, when a menace to his collapse was imminent for a while. Mission of Vice President Wallace to Chungqin at the end of June 1944 should contribute to stabilize the situation and to create a beÞer conditions for developing of Chinese military effort. Reaching of this goal was not successful primarily because of the resistant of Chiang Kai-shek so a critical situation went on.

Kuomintangská Čína měla významné místo v amerických představách o vedení války proti Japonsku i o poválečném uspořádání světa. S těmito představami však příliš nekorespondovala politická nestabilita Čankajškova režimu ani jeho vojenské dispozice. Jeho slabost se plně projevila za japonské operace Iči Go v roce 1944, kdy po jistou dobu existovala hrozba jeho zhroucení. Mise amerického viceprezidenta Wallace do Čchung-čchingu koncem června 1944 měla přispět ke stabilizaci situace a vzniku příznivějších podmínek pro rozvíjení válečného úsilí Číny. Dosáhnout tohoto cíle se však především kvůli odporu Čankajška nepodařilo a kritická situace dále trvala.
