Military experience
-
When I was serving in the first unit,
-
it was my task to train to people, set up teams.
-
If there was one who had more courage than others
-
I placed a few shy ones next to him.
-
I told them: "Don't shoot, don't shoot, don't smoke
-
when you're in that position
-
and don't show the white parts of your body and your face because they can see you".
-
That was it, but the ones that were paying less attention to these instructions or were distracted
-
got into trouble because they took advantage of this.
-
And when someone was to do surveillance duty: keep your eyes open and don't sleep,
-
because during military service you do surveillance like this.
-
But then again, you could find partisans doing surveillance and sleeping.
-
If you're tired, ask for a change, you stupid,
-
because I sleep quietly if you're keeping your eyes open, but if you sleep, too ... ?!
-
And in fact these things happened, I'm not going to talk about it because they're too tragic,
-
but it happened that the Germans came in and did a massacre
-
because the guard wasn't paying attention. They had no experience.
-
Another episode happened to me near Parma.

One day we crossed the river Enza
