The English had written that whatever happened they would have rewarded us.
-
So I had this letter and I told them not to shoot at the car
-
since the men in it were three partisans who were coming to blow up the bridge.
-
Everything went well that day and I stayed there even the day after,
-
because it took me more than a full day to go back down from Baiso to Soliera.
-
I wrote it in a book in order to remember where it was: Cortile, near Campogalliano.
-
I walked through the ditches, following the canal as it went down,
-
after Modena, around Rubiera, and managed to deliver the letter.
-
The following day they arrived with the car.
-
If three Germans had arrived at this farmhouse, a small house right in the open,
-
they would have been immediately killed by the partisans.
-
They would have thought: “What are they doing here? They came for us”, and they would have shot at them.
-
But everything went well, they waited for night to fall, placed the bombs, and succeeded in derailing the train.
-
They stayed near the bridge the whole night, since the partisans had taken us to the right places.
-
If they weren’t covered properly they couldn’t have done anything.
-
Maybe they could have managed anyway, but they would have been in danger.
-
That time they were taken to the right bridge to set the mines.
-
The train arrived at five in the morning and at that point they said they killed a lot of people,
-
having derailed six or seven railway wagons full of ammunition.
-
The mission went well, and after two days they made it back to Secchio, pleased with their brilliant action.
