How common was it for Italian-speaking foreigners (from European countries) to be recruited into the Italian armed forces?
I read on another website that there were a few Ukrainian students in Rome who were hired to join the ARMIR on the Eastern-Front, to work as translators. I assume if they were hired as translators that they could thus speak Italian.
Let us exclude ethnic-Italians from this discussion (such as the ethnic-Italian community in France), and focus on non-Italian people from Europe (like those Ukrainians) who could speak Italian.
