General Giuseppe Santoro after 8 September 1943

Does anyone know what exactly happened to General Santoro after the German capture of Rome? I know that he remained in Rome after 8 September while Sandalli followed the king to Brindisi and was still there on 11 September, but then what did he do?

I can't help much. Like you, I found his trail goes cold in Sept 43. I assumed he was captured as everything I did find stated he stayed loyal to the Crown. He was replaced as the sottocapo SM RA after Sep 1943, so didn't appear to have a place in the Co-belligerent military. He retired in 1949.

Wikipedia in a well-sourced article has him evade capture, and then go on to command 6 Air Brigade and the Air Force Academy.

All the best
