Talk:List of World War II prisoner-of-war camps in Italy

Untitled

My best guess (and little more than that) is that PG stands for Prisonnier de Guerre (French for Prisoner of War.) --203.97.106.145 (talk) 05:12, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

Good guess but, just to clear this up, the Italian for 'prison of war' is prigione di guerra, and that's really where the P.G. comes from. Cheers Bjenks (talk) 03:31, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

additions

i translated the following articles from the Italian wiki and they need to be added to this list: Corropoli internment camp, Nereto internment camp, Casolli. FoCuSandLeArN (talk) 16:02, 8 October 2012 (UTC)

General article needed on PGs

I'm proposing that we create an article World War II prisoner-of-war camps in Italy to provide general information on administration, history, etc, which is not appropriate to this List article, and not covered in, e.g., Military history of Italy during World War II nor Prisoner-of-war camp#Axis camps
So am looking for consensus, support, further suggestions, etc. Bjenks (talk) 03:00, 6 January 2017 (UTC)

This sounds like a reasonable idea. Would you envisage further information about individual camps in this article, or do you mean something covering all Italian camps in general? I see that there doesn't seem to be a single article on a particular Italian camp, whereas there are lots on the German ones, but I suppose this is a reflection of the duration of the war and where most of the prisoners ended up staying for the longest times... If an article on an Italian one were created, would the link be available in your secondary article as well, or just the current list one? Chelseawoman1 (talk) 10:06, 6 January 2017 (UTC)

I think we need a general article to start with. There's no reason why we can't have an article on a single camp, provided WP standards of notability, verification, etc., are met—as has been done, e.g., with the German Stalag VII-A, through which thousands of former Italian camp prisoners were reprocessed.

"Campo 87"

This intriguing edit has appeared, purporting to link a COVID-19 mass grave with a former "Campo 87". However, the given citation does not verify the imputation that Campo 87 (field number 87) is or was identifiable as a former POW camp in Milan. So I've reverted the edit while we await clarification. Incidentally, the apparent place name "Stalia" was linked to the unhelpful article Acridoxena—so I unlinked it in passing. I have also found a website which offers more info about Campo 87:

P.G. 87 Cardoncelli (Stalia) Benevento.

OTHER RANKS Up to 6000 POWS housed in this camp, 30 miles Northeast of Naples.

Originally designed to hold 4,000 in July 1942.

Work camps

In this version of the article, relatively minor work camps with little or no information are accorded the same status as the main camps which administered them. Looking into Campo 106/20, I found that the given location Arro is in Corsica, nowhere near the actual location, Salussola! So I integrated the entry into Campo 106, and noted that the subcamps of PGs 78, 103, 107 and 120 need to be given the same treatment for consistency. Bjenks (talk) 03:11, 7 December 2020 (UTC)
