Italian dogtag from POW camp

[Niedersachsen]

Dear all,

I found this italian at German POW camp. The camp housed Italian POWS (internees) from the end of 1943 onwards.

It has the following written on it:
13882 (54) O.
BERGAMASCHI
LUIGI DI FRAN
CESCO B BERGA
MASCHI SANTINA
CL. 1924
CORZANO
(BRESCIA)


I know his last name would be Bergamaschi, born 1924, from Corzano (Brescia province).
But I am not knowledgeable enough on this matter to confidently draw his full name and parents names from this.
Can someone help me?

Also: can someone help me find his unit?
Once I know more about this tag I will write an email to the community he is from.

Thanks,

Chris

All right, I can only add that father' name was FRANCESCO and mother's name was BERGAMASCHI SANTINA.
13882 was the enlistment number and 54 the district of enlistment. C (not O) means catholic.
From the dog tag (PIASTRINO) is not possible find the unit.

Thanks a lot. I was confused a bit by the names. Are there databases where I can find his unit? Soldiers from 231º Reggimento fanteria "Avellino" where interned at the camp where I found it, I would like to confirm whether it is one of them.

You can try at the DISTRETTO di BRESCIA (Brescia military district) and ask for the FOGLIO MATRICOLARE, but they reply only to narrow relatives.

I sent a detailed email to the Corzano municipality, let's see if they reply.

Might be worth contacting the ICRC in Geneva as well as they may have some details that they can share.
