For those that are interested, there is a movie that was made called “The Dunera Boys”. While I can’t be sure of the factional information, I’m sure that it will give you some understanding of that part of our Australian history.

Dear everyone
I think this is very good I didn’t know about the Dunera boys.
We need to know our history
There was a lot of immigration and happening around the war years and in the 1950’s there is a lot of european immigrants in Albany Western Australia and seems to be a lot with jewish heriatage or they are just discovering the roots. A lot of people have amazing war stories.
One guy was in yugoslavia and he was a young man in the army but he had to be in a German factory when the nazi took over the country.
He use to put the detonators in the bombs. he made sure everyone didn’t work.
that was his war effort. another one he was a british pilot and he was shot down in Germany and put in a consecration camp he was supposedly shot and was in a pit with all the Jewish people who had been shot. He waited and played dead and got out alive and his family live in Albany now.
Anyway G-d Bless Donna
