Pte. Victor "Vito" Assante
South African Army
from:Cape Town, South Africa
Vito Assante was a lifelong friend of Luigi Antonio Mancini and Ruth Norager (my late parents-in-law) of Cape Town, South Africa. I have a postcard sent to Miss Ruth Norager from Vito Assante, whilst held in captivity by the German Wehrmact at Stallag 7A, just north of Moosburg in Southern Bavaria. Luigi Antonio Mancini was part of the Cape Town Highlanders, but was medically discharged and returned to South Africa. Both Luigi and Vito survived the war.
