Italian Armistice Commission with France

During World War II, the Commissione Italiana d'Armistizio con la Francia ("Italian Armistice Commission with France") or CIAF was a temporary civil and military body charged with implementing the Franco-Italian armistice of 24 June 1940 and harmonising it with the Franco-German armistice of 22 June. It had broad authority over the military, economic, diplomatic and financial relations between France and Italy until the Italo-German occupation of France (Operation ANTON) on 11 November 1942. Thereafter its powers were gradually transferred to the Fourth Army, which was under the command of General Mario Vercellino and in occupation of southern France. The headquarters of the CIAF was in Turin and it was subordinate to the Comando Supremo (Italian supreme command). It liaised with the German Armistice Commission (Waffenstillstandskommission, WAKO) in Wiesbaden.

Structurally, the CIAF had a presidency (presidenza) and four subcommissions (sottocommissioni) for the Army, Navy, Air Force and "General Affairs" (Affari Generali). The first representative of the army was General Carlo Vecchiarelli, of the navy Admiral Ildebrando Goiran and of the air force General Aldo Pellegrini. The French were represented at Turin by a delegation of their own (the Délégation française à la Commission italienne d'Armistice or DFCIA) and four subdelegations corresponding to the subcommissions. A Mixed Delegation (Delegazione Mista) was sent to Corsica, where it was sidelined after the Italian occupation of Corsica in November 1942, when a Political and General Affairs Office (Ufficio Politico e Affari Vari) was established there subordinate to the Fourth Army.
