I assume that the mentioned labour camp was the Nibelungenwerke (in German, Google Translate works). My question would be a details of about the escape of your grandfather: How did he meet the people who helped him leave the St. Valentin area? I presume they were railway workers. Did his escape route lead him directly north via the railway form St. Valentin to Ceske Budejovice?
Regarding Giovanni Caldo: There is a list of victims of the national socialism. Caldo is not listed there, which could indicate that he survived, as no death was recorded, although the documentation of the fate of camp inmates may not be complete, especially for 1945.
