Ahmed Pasic Posted 17 November , 2009 Share Posted 17 November , 2009 Hi all, does anyone know where did Italians have POW camps for Austro-Hungarian soldiers? Like, how many, where, operating from when to when etc, anything. I am interested because in some books you can read that Bosniak soldiers of A-H army mostly returned to Bosnia only in 1919-1920, some of them were even on Sicily!? Pero Blaskovic also mentions one huge camp in Vicenza, northern Italy. Thanks for your inputs in advance. Ahmed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
franzmaximilian Posted 17 November , 2009 Share Posted 17 November , 2009 Unfortunately I'm not expert at all on this subject, but i have read in several books that POW camps where usually very far away from north east Italy. POW camps in Sicily does not sound surprising at all. I think most of the camps were in southern Italy. The camp in Vicenza was possibly only for transit and sorting, as it was too close to the front line, specially after October 1917. I will check if i can find any Italian sources on A-H POWs in Italy. Regards, Franz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
