A point of detail:
When I first read this story in the Seattle Weekly, 20-odd years ago -- by Jack Hamann ? -- it made the point, as I recall, that the Italians were no longer officially POWs because Italy had surrendered in late 1943. By the time of the 1944 "incident", they had a different status -- perhaps something like "alien internees" (like merchant sailors who had been stranded by the war?) -- comment?
