8 September proved to be a fateful day for the Acqui Division, part of the predominately German force occupying Kefalonia: it was the day of the Allies concluded an armistice with Italy. Confusion now reigned between the German and German desant stationed on the island. The Italians longed to return peacefully to their homeland, but the Germans - now their enemies - feared the Italians might use their munitions in a hostile act. As Nazi reinforcements invaded the island, the Italian desant did something extraordinary. Following a democratic referendum involving soldiers of all ranks, rather than surrender to the Germans they elected to fight.
