In early September 1943 Italy capitulated to the Allies. Australian prisoners of war seized this watershed moment and snatched supplies before walking out of Italy’s rice farms west of Milan. Discover the story of, Shooting Through and the unique shared history between Australian escapers and the Italians who risked severe retributions to host and guide the POWs.
The project is personal for Katrina Kittel, as her father was a POW in Italy during WW2. Over eight years her research has extended to include the total Australian POW cohort in Italy of two thousand. She completed a Bachelor’s degree in history and a Master degree at the University of Newcastle, and is a member of Professional Historians Australia.
