Numbers in the 123700-132000 range seem to have been allocated in early 1944 at Stalag 7A to POWs captured in the fighting in Italy in late 1943 and also to POWs captured in the desert and Tunisia much earlier, who were eventually recaptured by the Germans after several weeks at large after the Italian Armistice of 9/43 and then shipped north to Stalag 7A. Name and address information on POWs held at work camp AK 3732 Munich in the listing below is transcribed from the handwritten fly leaf of a pre-war German guidebook to Munich owned by L/Cpl Edward Sefton, C Coy, 16 DLI, POW No 125744, captured in Italy on 6/12/43. Those details couresy Brian Sefton.
