 Verbitsky says that Bishop Victorio Bonamín, Caggiano's associate in the military vicariate general, was one of the instructors in the course, but not Caggiano himself.He also says that in the course of counter-insurgency classes cadets at the Navy Mechanics School were shown the film "The Battle of Algiers" (1966), made by Italian communist director Gillo Pontecorvo.The film, which was censored in France, showed the methods used by the French colonial army in Algeria, including the systemic use of torture.
