Left in the photo a Communist banner red flag. On 5 March 1945, Roatta escaped from the Virgilio Army Hospital in Rome, probably due to the complicity of the British Secret Service. Reached before the Vatican and then, with his wife, Spain, where he was protected by the government of Francisco Franco. Was the immediate reaction of the Left and the demonstrations fueled by controversy positions of socialists and shareholders who accused environments Army to protect the fascists. The next day it was dismissed General Taddeo Orlando. The week after his escape, he was sentenced to life imprisonment in the first degree in absentia. At the end of the judicial process was acquitted and the judgment set aside by the Supreme Court in 1948.
