PoW stories
Index of Prisoners of War (PoW) who were captured primarily in North Africa and transported to camps in Italy. Some of these stories were written while in captivity, some after escape and some years later. They were donated by the authors and their families to Keith Killby’s Monte San Martino Trust.

Please note – the historical language used in the escaper stories occasionally uses terminology which was commonplace at the time, but which now is considered unacceptable and potentially offensive.
Nota bene – nel linguaggio storico utilizzato nelle storie dei fuggitivi a volte si usano termini che all’epoca erano normali ma che oggi sono considerati inaccettabili e potenzialmente offensivi.
