Actually I can remember my mum taking me up to see what was left of the camp and also mentioning that many of the Italian prisoners actually married Ossie girls at the end of the war. Also she told me that at Xmas /Easter etc... some of the prisoners were invited to local homes.
Any info anyone??

In post 52 of this thread I've put the link on to the programme (part 1 of 5) about the camp.
Interviewd are some former (German) prisoner who married local lasses.
I hope you find it interesting.
