What was he doing in Italy? Was he a prisoner of war? My dad was in North Africa and got taken at Tobruk. Was then a prisoner of war in Italy.

As the Allied front moved from North Africa and up through Italy, he was charged with helping the villages and towns put the pieces back together after the war had rolled through. He didn't talk about it much but did say once the people were so traumatized that all the social structures and social bonds had broken down.
