European Resistance Archive/European Resistance Archive (ERA)
-
There were around thirty of us of the Bedeschi detachment, yet unhurt.
-
There was also one of the detachments from Modena who had been joining forces with us at the beginning.
-
We gathered in Costabona,
-
determined to fight the Germans,
-
who had occupied the whole area. (I was looking at the map the other day).
-
It was difficult for us to get moving during the night.
-
“Let’s stay here, we’ll carry out our resistance tomorrow”.
-
We also had a mortar,
-
but before we could do anything we had to blow up the Secchiello Bridge.
-
I went down on one side to be safe and then made it under the bridge.
-
The Germans were already on the Secchiello bridge.
-
It was also quite a hard bridge to blow up.
-
I took advantage of the confusion, went under the bridge and set the mines.
-
The bridge was made of iron, but there was a rock, quiet high.
-
I lit the fuse and jumped off. It was a question of seconds.
-
However the Germans heard some noise when I lit the fuse.They shot some rockets.
-
I had jumped right away and hid behind the rock.
-
My comrades already knew that they would have to shoot when the Germans fired to give me a chance to draw back.
-
There was really a significant gunfight between us and them.
-
I slowly drew away, unhurt.
