-
Even our commanders were saying that we were somehow different.
-
In fact, I wasn't into politics that much,
-
but to be against the fascists and the Germans
-
meant to be against the bad people that had wanted the war.
-
When we did the Liberation it was a big relief for us
-
because this was what we had wanted. But what did they want?
-
They just wanted people to be killed, we've seen it many times.
-
For example, when they did their killings at the Bettola, or in Cerrè Sologno,
-
they did terrible retaliation acts.
-
But we had the experience in carrying out an attack
-
and in fact we did the action at the Sparavalle and not in Cervarezza,
-
so that the people would remain unharmed,
-
we didn't want to cause casualties among the population.
-
The first airdrop and the Sparavalle battle
-
They did the first drop at Lama Golese and there we were expecting it.
-
But the English made a mistake,
-
they were supposed to do their drop in Modena but did so at our place instead:
-
they'd set up a triangle with fires, the plane turned around and around and eventually did their dropthere.
-
They dropped four Bren machine guns and 130 other machine guns.
-
In our group were about fourty people, so we had far enough weapons.
