Em guerra que cobra fuma, alagoano é convocado

Abstract

The work presented here, aims to investigate the participation of Alagoas ex-combatants who participated directly and indirectly in the Second World War, as summoned of the Brazilian Armed Forces between the years 1944-45. Their participation should be examined in order to confirm not only sending 148 men from Alagoas to the fields of Italy, but also to check the convening of others men who defended the Brazilian coast and its subsequent process of social reintegration for through the creation of the Association of Ex-combatants in Brazil Alagoas Section (AECB-AL). To study this issue after nearly seventy years since the end of World War II, in a state that develops little incentive to register your memory or memory of their natural, was one of the factors that greatly hindered the construction of this dissertation. The existence of a few men still alive here in Alagoas and willing to express their experiences on the period in question, adds to the overall picture of difficulties encountered during these more than two years of research, but were gradually overcome . We did not have sufficient records of men from Alagoas called in this official literature, it had to resort the statements by some men, with more than eighty years, that proposed to serve as reviewers of this research, reporting their experiences before, during and after war.
