Now, there's a project for anyone interested, to find out where, before the US joined the war as to where the surrendered AK troops went. I know some would of come to UK along with surrendered Italians, of which there many more.

I am interested, good idea!{sm3} One of my father's uncles was taken prisoner by the british at El Alamein and sent to prison in South Africa, then in India. He was very well treated.
Another of his uncles was taken prisoner in Africa by the french and was very badly treated....After the war, as a french entered his shop in Italy, he left because becoming agressive at him)

Actually down-under 'Wayne' is really a version of 'Steve' & 'Steve' is often a nickname for 'Wayne'.....I'm sure Wayne will agree? ^&grin:wink2:

That's the rumour, I must say I do love me black woolen singlet, however last count Aussie has roughly 10x sheep per head of population opposed to us Kiwi's who only have 5x so I'll leave it for you to work out who enjoys Shaun's mate the most....{eek3}^&grin:tongue:

Two different experience on separate occasions. Perhaps it was discipline or perhaps it was the cultural difference and perhaps not having lost friends at that stage or perhaps the French had just had personal experience. Remember Italy did invade and occupy parts of France in 1940 - 1943 which isn't going to make things easier. Whatever the reasons they obviously are still alive in memory from stories told down the generations and of course it is the same here and I expect with all those who had relatives alive at time of the second World War. I know I heard some as a child !
