During part of 1943/1944 I was stationed in Carinaro, Italy at what was a POW Camp. It was next to a railroad but cannot recall what street it was on. I emailed the city of Carinaro to see if they could tell me where the camp was located so that I may find it on Google Maps but never received a reply. What I can find on the internet is that the Carinaro camp (No. 63) was near Arezzo but the only Arezzo is in the Tuscany region of Italy.
Carinaro has developed into quite a modern city that I don't recognize any of the places. We went to an old church there that was so poor that the members of the parish would bring their own chairs to Mass if they wanted to sit down. I also vividly remember one morning while at my desk a German plane flew low over the railroad tracks and strafed our building !! Whew !!!
