-
We were at south east, taking control of the first houses.
-
The Germans were coming from the west, and lined up to the west and north.
-
In some cases fascists, Germans and partisans were mixed up in the same house.
-
I remember this partisan who was in a house when the door opened and in came a German.
-
They were both aiming their gun at each other, until the German walked back without shooting.
-
If he had, they both would have died.
-
Then what happened?
-
The battle had started 15-20 minutes before and our commander Miro was hurt badly.
-
Barbolini too, who was the commander of those from Modena.
-
After that Eros took charge.
-
But one of the machine guns we had, the French St.Etienne, had the wrong ammunition.
-
It didn’t fire one shot.
-
The other one, a Breda, worked properly,
-
but had been placed in an open spot, since we had to do everything in a hurry.
-
After the first shot was fired, a German with a rifle and binoculars
-
shot him in the middle of the head and killed him.
-
So that machine gun was useless.
-
We were badly equipped, while they were really highly armed.
-
Around 10:30 or 11, I was in the highest position in Cerrè Sologno,
-
right in front of the spot where today you can find the monument of our fallen.
