Thank you Galvo,

Here is my question:

What is the connection between a Nissen Hut and WWII Italian Prisoners of War
and an island in the British Isles?

I think I may have been too vague.

Let me elaborate slightly.

The Nissen Hut, a famous type of shelter in WWII,
was in this story converted into something special by the Italian POW’s.

This converted Nissen Hut came to be a very important building
on the island where the men were kept as POW’s.

The POW’s were there to build a special barrier
at one of the islands north of Scotland.

In their spare time they worked on converting the Nissen Hut
into a building which today is a famous tourist attraction
and a very unique building of its type.

One of the POW’s was an artist and his contribution
was certainly one of the greatest contributions.

And there was also a blacksmith
who created for this building some very beautiful ironwork.

What is the building?

The building is the 'Italian Chapel' located on Lamb Holm in Orkney.

You are absolutely right, galvo, it has come to be known as "The Italian Chapel." 
There were several hundred POW’s working on the “Churchill Barrier”,
a massive series of concrete causeways to seal the eastern approaches to Scapa Flow. 

The Italian POW’s made a real home from home of this island.
Much of what they built was out of concrete, even the billiard table they used.
 
The inside of the Chapel has the appearance of the arched Nissen Hut,
but the corrugated iron was hidden by plaster-board and smoothed over,
which was then painted to look like bricks,
and an Italian blacksmith created a very beautiful sanctuary iron-screen.

Over to you, galvo.
