we didn't want to cause casualties among the population.
-
The first airdrop and the Sparavalle battle
-
They did the first drop at Lama Golese and there we were expecting it.
-
But the English made a mistake,
-
they were supposed to do their drop in Modena but did so at our place instead:
-
they'd set up a triangle with fires, the plane turned around and around and eventually did their dropthere.
-
They dropped four Bren machine guns and 130 other machine guns.
-
In our group were about fourty people, so we had far enough weapons.
-
Later on a local guy came and took all the surplus weapons and brought them away.
-
"Frigio" wrote right things about this episode, that the arms ...
-
I knew the weapons because I'd served in Yugoslavia,
-
I learned to handle them all, all kinds of weapons, antitank cannon, mortar,
-
I opened them, cleaned them,
-
taught the younger ones how to use them and how to keep them in good condition.
-
In Lama Golese there was a non-accessible power unit
-
and some charcoal makers’ huts and we went there.
-
We slaughtered a cow to eat it and I taught them to put it into the water to preserve it.
-
The water of the river was freezing cold so it could be preserved for about twenty days,
-
cut into pieces. There was some mud on top of it but it was good, anyway.
-
Many people didn't know what to do because there was no fridge, no dishes.
