and a comrade from Busana told me afterwards that he guided him and two other Germans who were already there
-
to Silano and through the front, to the Allies.
-
For the whole time we did not speak. We stopped at a well to have a drink,
-
we where just like two boys, he was than already like a lamb, disarmed.

Later, another partisan came with me, from Lingonchio on,

a former Carabinieri who now is dead, Nello Coli, also from my village.

Mining a bridge; Sabotaging flow of German troops
-
We were receiving reports of troops coming back from the front, from Garfagnana,
-
-
on the road going through Fivizzano and the Cerreto pass and towards Castelnovo Monti.
-
They were sending new troops to the front, by that time they had been there two or three months.
-
So we received this order to lay mines, but there weren’t any bridges left!
-
There was only this small thing we used to call the “fognone” (big sewer).
-
-
By that time we had a lot of TNT since they dropped it from the airplanes.
-
We walked up there. There was a wonderful moon this night, a very calm night, like in springtime.
-
They had a machine gun nest not too far away,
-
we put two groups there, one on each side of the bridge, in order to work untroubled.
-
And we did work untroubled, placing 45 kg of TNT, sort of like chewing gum you know?
-
After that we set the fuse and set it on fire.
