| Tartalmi kivonat: | During the First World War, the Italian leadership transferred over ten thousand prisoners of war to Albania for forced labour, starting from the autumn of 1917. Among them there were more than four thousand Hungarians, who built and repaired roads, railroads, bridges, and communication networks, and cleared the land to stop the spread of malaria. The POWs were taken from Italian internment camps because the Albanian front did not generate the necessary amount of POW workforce. They lived in harsh circumstances due to food shortage, the spread of malaria and the hard physical work. Many wrote memoirs, or messages on postcards, including lance corporal János Kozeschnik and corporal László Horthy, which I also examined in the paper. |
