Marsciano (Perugia) – Italy
Camp type: Campo PG Work detachment
History: At the request of the Briziarelli Pio & Figli company, a work detachment for prisoners of war dependent on the PG camp No. 115 of Morgnano was set up in Marsciano. (see PGMR01). At the moment we do not have data regarding the number and nationality of prisoners of war used at the Marsciano furnace owned by the Briziarelli family.
Research into the Marsciano POW Labor Detachment is still ongoing.

Note: Research on Italian prisoner of war camps is still ongoing (November 2012). The information reported here is taken from some documents conserved in the Historical Office of the Army General Staff and concerns only the period from March 1942 to March 1943. The data on this sheet are therefore incomplete and still to be verified.

Note:

Italian work camps (also referred to as satellites, work detachments or labour camps) have two numbers. The first is that of the main camp, the second of the work camp, for example PG 115/III represents work camp III of PG 115. The administrative management of the work camps was entrusted to the main camp. In Italy, work detachments could be sent from different prisoner of war camps to a work camp and one camp in the area selected as the main camp.
Work camps were allocated Roman numerals, although Arabic numerals are often used by many sources. Some main camps were also work camps, but were assigned the conventional number as opposed to a work camp number.

Confusingly, some sources list Italian work camps using the main camp number, but quoting the work camp name e.g. “PG 115 Marsciano. Marsciano is work camp III dependant on PG 115 Morgnano, therefore ‘PG 115/III Marsciano’.
