1946–1947 forced repatriation of Soviet military collaborators
Operation Keelhaul
Operation Keelhaul was a 1946–1947 Allied operation to identify and repatriate Soviet military collaborators who were located in Allied-occupied Northern Italy. A part of the overall program of repatriation of Soviet citizens after World War II, this late stage, localized operation was carried out by British and American Allied Force Headquarters forces in Italy and Allied-occupied Austria. Running from 14 August 1946 and 9 May 1947, Operation Keelhaul transferred about 1,000 military collaborators to the Soviet side. This was the last Allied forced repatriation of Soviet citizens in the aftermath of World War II.
