Europe / Italy - Nazi Killings in Provence of Chieti
« on: Saturday 01 June 24 04:28 BST (UK) »
My wife's great-uncle was interned in Australia during World War 2. His Internment Documentation, obtained from National Archives of Australia, shows his wife as Antonietta Di LUCA, resident at Contruto Vebencheri (?), Provence of Chieti. We do not know Antonietta's maiden surname and despite numerous searches are unable to locate Contruto Vebencheri.
Family lore indicates a German soldier was killed by Italian partisans at a nearby location and in revenge the Germans executed a number of innocent individuals among whom were his wife and children.
Any information would be gratefully received. Sincerest thanks in advance.

Could " St Ang... " be HMS St Angelo in Malta? Originally in 1912, it was HMS Egmont, then it became a Mediterranean base for the Royal Navy and in 1933 was renamed HMS St Angelo.

If you purchased that scan from TNA, request a better scan. That is pitiful.
