"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.

The whole day was like that.

We didn't even have the money to go and buy something, but there was nothing to buy, anyway.

In the evening we saw a guy coming towards us.

He recognised me and said: "Are you the guy from Magnani?

You came to install my radio, remember, I live in Gavasseto ..." "Yes, I remember".

So we loaded up all the stuff and went.

The partisans were staying at Capanne di Succiso.

After lunch they divided into groups

and me and my friend Pancio found ourselves in different groups.

I asked him "Where are you going?"

"They put me here, you're going with the Cervi group".

I told him I wanted to stay together with him, we were like brothers,

we couldn't stay in different groups with people we hardly knew.

"Sbafi "was the commander and "Mario" was the commissioner.
