Does anyone know what exactly happened to General Mario Vercellino, commander of the Fourth Army, after the Armistice of Cassibile? I know that he disbanded his Army on 12 September, then there seems to be no info. Was he captured by the Germans, did he go into hiding, join the Resistance, reach Allied-controlled southern Italy? Also, what was his career afterwards, did he hold any further commands or left active service?

According to Musée de la résistance en ligne he and his staff were captured on 12 September 43. He was initially held in Toulon, then was transferred to Germany where he was released in 1945. He retired from the army in 1945.
