  Atomic Hide-and-Seek - The...

  In the annals of modern history, few inventions have cast as long and dark a shadow as the atomic bomb. Its birth marked a seismic shift in human capability, wielding the power to obliterate entire cities and reshape geopolitical landscapes. Yet, from its inception, the atom's power has not merely been a matter of spectacle but of concealment. Beneath the publicized detonations and treaty negotiations lies a quieter, more insidious game—one where nations and non-state actors seek to hide their most devastating weapons in plain sight. 
  This hidden game began almost as soon as the atomic bomb was developed. During the Manhattan Project, secrecy was paramount, not just to protect scientific progress but to ensure strategic advantage. The veil of secrecy surrounding nuclear weapons set the stage for an enduring tradition of concealment. As the technology proliferated, so too did the techniques for hiding these weapons: underground silos, mobile launchers, and entire programs buried under bureaucratic misdirection. The Cold War, in particular, saw the emergence of elaborate strategies of obfuscation, where intelligence agencies and military powers engaged in a high-stakes game of hide-and-seek. 
  At the heart of this game lies a paradox. The destructive potential of nuclear weapons is unparalleled, yet their true power is magnified when shrouded in uncertainty. A hidden arsenal not only evades preemptive strikes but also exerts a psychological toll on adversaries, forcing them to account for every possibility. This uncertainty has become a tool of diplomacy, coercion, and deterrence, embedding itself deeply into the fabric of international relations.

  Prisoners of Jan Smuts - Italian...

  Equally skilled in a variety of trades other than in the art of love, the Italian prisoners of war (POWs) who were incarcerated in South Africa during the Second World War are a source of great fascination to this day. Who were these men? And what made some of them attempt dramatic escapes, while others wanted to stay behind after the war?
  The first Italian POWs arrived in the Union of South Africa in early 1941, most of them being held in Zonderwater Camp outside Cullinan or in work camps across the country. The government of Jan Smuts saw them as a source of cheap labour that would contribute to harvesting schemes, road-building projects such as the old Du Toit's Kloof Pass between Paarl and Worcester and even to prickly-pear eradication schemes.
  Prisoners of Jan Smuts recounts the stories of survival and shenanigans of the Italian POWs in the Union through the eyes of five prisoners who had documented their experiences in memoirs and letters. While many POWs seemed to appreciate the opportunities to gain new skills, others clung to the Fascist ideas they had grown up with and refused to work
  .
  Many opted to remain in South Africa once the war had ended, forging quite a legacy. These included sculptor Edoardo Villa, who left an important mark in the local and international art world, and businessman Aurelio Gatti, who built an ice-cream empire whose gelato was to delight generations of South Africans.
