W. Shove, A. J. Pritchard, and G. C. lliddcll, Y.M.C.A. secretaries who were prisoners of war n ItThns been fairly well established that as soon as tiie armistice with Italy was declared, British prisoners of war were liberated from some of the camps ami allowed to fend for themselves, but many were subsequently rounded up by the Germans. It is generally understood that the northern half of Italy was dominated by German influence at the time of the armistice, and the prisoners-of-war .n the camps north of the River Po were, in all probability, transferred straightway to Germany or Austria. Stalag VIII B is situated near Damsdorf, south of Breslau, and near the Polish border.
