Tortured P-38 pilot in Sardinia

While reading my copy of "Forever Flying",the biography of Robert Hoover,the famous pilot, I came accross the following passage[p.36]:

"The worst one...was inflicted on a P-38 pilot shot down over Sardinia. He was strapped to a table with his feet hanging over the side,and when he would not talk,they beat his feet with 2x4s. When he still refused to cooperate,they tied his genitals with a cord and yanked them off. He bled to death."

This surely does not fit in with standard German POW interrogation techniques!
Any further information?
