Wagner states that the dating to 2 November is an error and that it should be 3 November. However, the date was consciously cited incorrectly in order to create the impression that it was already the new Army Supreme Commander who had concluded the armistice. 2512 The exact wording is in : Wagner, Der Waffenstillstand von Villa Giusti, 151et s within six days eq. 2513 On the constitutional questions : Jedlicka, Der Waffenstillstand, 95. 2514 Before the surrender, the Italians had already been able to take 80,000 Austro-Hungarian soldiers cap- tive. The figure of 436,675 prisoners of war that the Italians cited as the official number includes those prisoners who had been captured since 24 October.
