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.

I guess it was because I thought the war would be over soon.
-
Then once I started doing this it became something I had to do, some sort of duty,
-
just like taking care of house chores. It was something I really liked to do.
-
I did it with such enthusiasm that I wouldn’t even feel the distance I would cover by foot, from the Via Emilia,
-
leaving San Pietro in the morning, all the way to Secchia, where I arrived at night with bloody feet.
