The fourth phase, 1935–40, was characterized by an aggressive foreign policy, warfare in Ethiopia, which was launched from Italian Somaliland and Eritrea, confrontations with the League of Nations sanctions, growing economic autarchy, and semi-Nazification.
The first phase 1923–25 was nominally a continuation of the parliamentary system, albeit with a "legally organized executive dictatorship." Then came the second phase, "the construction of the Fascist dictatorship proper from 1925 to 1929." The third phase, with less activism, was 1929–34. "The Fascist regime passed through several relatively distinct phases," says Payne (1996). The fascists imposed totalitarian rule and crushed the political and intellectual opposition, while promoting economic modernization, traditional social values, and a rapprochement with the Catholic Church. Yang later emigrated to the United States, where he lived until his death in 1992."Fascist Italy" is the era of National Fascist Party rule from 1922 to 1943 with Benito Mussolini as totalitarian leader. The Americans initially believed him to be Japanese in German uniform, and he was placed in a prisoner-of-war camp in the United Kingdom.
Yang was sent to Occupied France to fight in a battalion of Soviet POW's known as the "Eastern Battalion", located on the Cotentin peninsula in Normandy, close to Utah Beach.Īfter the D-Day landings, Yang was captured by paratroopers of the United States Army in June 1944.
In 1943, he was captured by Wehrmacht soldiers in Ukraine during the Third Battle of Kharkov, and was then pressed into fighting for Germany. During the Battles of Khalkhin Gol, he was captured by the Red Army and sent to a labour camp.īecause of the manpower shortages faced by the Soviets in their fight against Nazi Germany, in 1942 he was pressed into fighting for the Red Army along with thousands of other prisoners, and was sent to the Eastern Front. In 1938, at the age of 18, Yang was in Manchuria when he was conscripted into the Kwantung Army of the Imperial Japanese Army to fight against the Soviet Union. A Korean by the name of Yang Kyoungjong fought in the Imperial Japanese Army, the Soviet Red Army, and the German Wehrmacht?
