Americans vs Italians in Fiume flag and chain dispute
In Fiume on February 28 forces of the 382nd Regiment encountered Italian suspicion that the United States backed Italian claims. Colonel Everson demanded the Italian flag be removed from its subordinate position and led a threatened march to pull it down. Italians paraded chained Americans after capturing them in a street incident involving Croat insignia. The episode sparked criticism from General Treat and ongoing tension as authorities sought an explanation.
