    Default War prisoners?

    Hello,
    I am trying to concretize this photo.
    War prisoners in one of the rports.
    The title on the board is close to "VORSBURG", but it is not 100% sure.
    Is anybody knows more about this event, who are prisoners, what is a place and date?
    Thanks a lot

    They appear to be Italian...After Italy surrendered and switched sides, German troops captured & disarmed their former allies...and off to forced-labor...That's my best guess here...

    They are Greek prisoners (check the Greek badge from my pics), propably from Piraeus harbour 1941.

    Thanks Aghs,
    now I think they are Greeks, badge is the same.
    And it is in context with other photos, what I have : Italian officers in Parphenon.
    Why they are in the harbor, greek prisoners were transported from Greece ?
    Thanks

    I too, but it is a little strange thing to keep cap badge after the capitulation. But it is good for us, we can identify them and this event.
