'British Prisoners of War in Italy: Paths to Freedom' launched the best-selling series of books on WWII Italy by Anglo-Italian writer Malcolm Tudor
Image: bullet point

Most of the British and Allied prisoners of war in Italy were captured in the great tank battles across North Africa.

In September 1943 an Armistice was signed between the Allies and Italy. The invasion of the mainland began and the Germans occupied the rest of the country.

In the chaos almost 50,000 Allied prisoners of war escaped from their camps and were helped by a secret army of Italian civilians.

They included the author's mother and grandparents who assisted 20 British and South African escapers in the mountains of northern Italy.

Many of the servicemen followed the paths to freedom - the mountain trails to neutral Switzerland or through enemy lines to Allied forces.

BEYOND THE WIRE: A TRUE STORY OF ALLIED POWs IN ITALY 1943-1945

To go beyond the wire was to leave the camp in which prisoners of war had been held for perhaps three days, three months or even three years. For the first time the servicemen tasted freedom. But on the horizon of the camp there should have been advancing Allied troops. Instead there were only Germans and Fascists.

A fascinating new account of the lives of the prisoners of war following the Allied invasion and German occupation of the summer of 1943. Thousands of POWs fled their camps and found sanctuary in the countryside. Beyond the Wire describes their exploits in enemy territory, the Italians who helped them, and the incredible escapes many servicemen made to Switzerland or through enemy lines to Allied forces.
