They finally got them to Palanzano, in the province of Parma, from where they were taken to Florence by helicopter.
-
Then we had found this man in the house of a family nearby, hidden in a wagon.
-
He had been put there by some partisans, who had left him there.
-
We told the family we were looking for wounded men, and they told us they had one.
-
In the evening they offered to take us to Casola, on the road from Casina to Albinea.
-
There was a ditch there, where the crest of the mountain ended.
-
You could go down the ditch, then back up to Valestra, but it was a very long way.
-
He had two cows pulling the wagon, and we started to head uphill.
-
As we reached the road, the Germans who were involved in the roundup in Baiso started shooting at us.
-
There were bullets flying all around us.
-
The farmer took off the piece of wood that held the wagon and left it on the ground, running away with the cows.
-
We were left there with this man with a bullet in his knee, who later told us he was screaming because of the pain he felt.
-
We waited there and somebody came looking for us in the evening.
-
I can’t remember well, but I think we went to sleep in the ditch until somebody came to bring us back.
-
That was the only wounded man we found.
-
The two other wounded were two of our leaders, Captain Ulisse and Gordon.
-
Acts of sabotage on the railway
-
Gordon was in charge of organizing things.
-
They had captured a German,
-
so he told us we had to go and attack the train that took ammunition to the front line.
