Abstract: In this paper we completely classify (up to conjugacy) all involutions , where is an orientable connected flat -dimensional space form, such that has fixed points but only finitely many. If are the space forms then only admit such involutions. Moreover, they are unique up to conjugacy. The main idea behind the proof is to find incompressible tori so that either or and then cut into simpler pieces. These results lead to a complete classification of -manifolds containing in their fundamental groups.
