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.

That was the only wounded man we found.

The donkey was really slow, so by the time we got there we had already walked for seven or eight hours.

There was also this boy with us who was from Baiso, his name was Barozzi, who died very young.

so they went to a garage and they gave us a “millecento” car.
-
They worked day and night to get the car ready and only left the following day,
-
while I had to leave before, by foot. They arrived the day after.
-
I had to get there earlier to tell everybody that a German car was arriving,
