-
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.
-
I was with Viktor, a Russian who had a machine gun
-
that had been taken from a fascist by the women in Montecavolo.
-
That was the only machine gun we had.
-
Then there was also one of my comrades from Cella. It was four of us there.
-
I could overlook the whole main street of Cerrè Sologno.
-
This young man was walking towards us with a gun.
-
As he realized he had 3 or 4 guns aimed at him, he raised his hands and dropped his gun.
