Preppy Picker Posted March 1, 2022 Author Share #4 Posted March 1, 2022 Here is the rest of the photo. It appears to be early in the war and to me these guys look like POWs. If anyone knows anything about this General or the occasion please don’t hesitate to post you facts and opinions. In addition there is a picture of the name on the back. The actual photo is rather large about 5 by 7 inches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SARGE Posted March 2, 2022 Share #6 Posted March 2, 2022 Looks like a guard shack raised on stilts in the background over the General's shoulder. Perhaps circa 1943 when the Italians surrendered and the Germans disarmed them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t find anything on line as far as photos of the Germans taking Italians prisoner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
