Event Details
Gloucestershire was home to a number of Prisoner of War camps during WW2 and many Italians, Germans and other Axis prisoners spent their war here. Ian Hollingsbee’s talk will explore the role of the camps, their captives, and guards, together with their impact on the local community. For some the war would not end till 1948. He will share some of these experiences and stories told to him during the research for his book ‘Inside the Wire’.
