My father, Joseph Bocchino, was captured in Italy in January 1944 at the Rapido river crossing. He was transferred to Stalag 2B shortly thereafter. He spent 13 months there working on commando Stolp in the fields. In February 1945 they were removed from Stalag 2B and marched to Munich where they were liberated in April 1945.
