Nicola Struzzi, born in Rome, Italy, 1923. “I was a tram ticket collector in San Lorenzo when I was called up in 1942. I did parachute training then got transferred to Tunisia. Our aircraft came under attack and crashlanded before we got there. We were captured by Allied soldiers. After that, I was moved around prison camps. In a camp in Casablanca, I escaped and was found hiding in a mail plane bound for Italy. I was tortured with electric shock. I made it home by hiding in a freight ship. Astonishingly, my family never gave up hope”. (Photo and caption by Sasha Maslov)
