Sketches and painting done by the internees provide insight into life in the camps: the exchange of conversation between Germans and Italians, the details for camp buildings and the compound structures.

In 1943, Tatura Camp 2 was home to Italians and Germans. Marco Gazzi, a cafe manager from Wales was sketched by German internee Kurt Winkler.

Kurt Winkler was an artist from Gransee, Germany.


Note the gardens in the foreground, barbed wire at the left side and guard tower back left.
