Abstract This study examines the correspondence sent by the Italian airman Osvaldo Muratore during the Second World War. It spans Muratore’s wartime service, first in Albania and later as a prisoner of war in Germany. Muratore’s correspondence provides us with a rare glimpse of the myriad ways – sometimes overt, sometimes covert – in which contemporaries used the mail to communicate their feelings, and to reveal, or hide, their attitudes toward the war: from enthusiastic support to muffled resistance.
