The British Foreign Office noted more equivocally in 1944 that Britain had never declared war, but also had never formally recognised San Marino's neutrality, and that it felt that military action on Sammarinese territory would be justified if it were being used by Axis forces.
Det brittiska utrikesdepartementet konstaterade mer tvetydigt år 1944 att Storbritannien aldrig hade förklarat krig, men heller aldrig formellt erkänt San Marinos neutralitet, och att de militära åtgärderna på San Marinos territorium var motiverade av att landet en gång använts av axelmakterna.
