Abstract(s)
Durante a II Guerra Mundial milhares de homens e mulheres, náufragos de embarcações atacadas e/ ou
afundadas no que ficou conhecido pela Batalha do Atlântico, foram salvos por navios portugueses ou
chegaram e receberam apoio nos seus territórios que neste período incluíam colónias no Atlântico e no
Índico.
Dessa realidade ficou o registo de meia centena de salvamentos por meios navais - civis e militares - e
também a implementação de rotinas e estruturas de apoio nos diversos territórios, tanto por
autoridades nacionais como entidades estrangeiras, que tinham por propósito receber, cuidar e repatriar
os que chegavam como náufragos .
A quase totalidade destas pessoas estavam ao serviço dos Aliados, mas ao longo do estudo encontramos
também casos que envolvem gente do Eixo e neutrais.
É esta realidade histórica recente, mas pouco conhecida, o objeto desta dissertação.
During World War II thousands of men and women, shipwrecked from attacked and/ or sunk vessels during what became known as the Battle of the Atlantic, were rescued by Portuguese ships or arrived and received support in their territories that in this period included colonies in the Atlantic and the Indian Oceans. These times left the record of fifty rescues by naval vessels - civil and military - and also the implementation of routines and support structures in the different territories, both by national authorities and foreign entities, whose purpose was to receive, care and repatriate those who arrived as shipwrecked. Almost all of these people were at the service of the Allies, but throughout the study we also found cases involving Axis and neutral personnel. This recent, but little-known, historical reality is the object of this dissertation.
