I had the flu and was ordered to go to my group,

but I had lost my track.

They were supposed to be next to Legoreccio, a quiet and safe area,

they went there to have a rest.

When I and another colleague arrived there they had left to Parma.

Since we coudln't find our detachment we decided to look for the nearest detachment,

called the "Anti-fascist".

So we stayed with them until our detachment, the "Cervi", came back,

and then we would have talked about it.

It was a nice group, I made some friends there,

we were all getting along very well.

When our Cervi detachment came back I told Pancio,

because we were doing fine there.

We were starving in the other detachment but here they had food.

And it was a richer area, there were peasants whereas there only woods and nothing else existed.

And he said: "No, I'm fine in my group, we'll talk about it".

But we didn't talk anymore

and then the massacre of the Cervi detachment happened, they were all killed.

They got surrounded and surrendered but were all killed.
