So I went down and got the hat, cleaned it a bit and put it on my head.
-
In this manner we reached Succiso.
-
In the outskirts of the village there were a few women
-
but in the centre there was nobody. Everyone had left!
-
I went into the tavern of Torri and asked if there were partisans here.
-
He said: "No, there are no partisan round here, nobody."
-
"But I saw a few women ... " "They went to buy food".
-
So we decided to stay for a while, waiting for someone to come, but no-one appeared.
-
It was like a desert even though it was a village.
-
So we sat down under a poplar and said
-
"Let's talk. We don't have any money, it's raining, we don't know where the partisans are,
-
they don't tell us anything here, what shall we do? Shall we go home?

-
"Look, all our will to find the rebels is this".
-
And I tore the ID in pieces. He asked me why I had done so
-
and I told him: "What do you think we're going to do back home, show that we still have our ID?
-
They already know that we went for a walk to see how it is".
-
And then I leaned against the poplar and cried, I was like a two-year-old child.
