Bruna and the fleet
-
Bruna is one of the "staffette" (partisan couriers) who helped to save me.
-
We were to meet between Barco, Bibbiano, Montecchio and Cavriago,
-
where the railroad was, around midnight.
-
We arrived at eleven o'clock,
-
so we told the "staffetta" that we would go to a peasant's house nearby,
-
and asked her to watch out and to call us when they'd arrived but to be careful.
-
Around midnight she came to us
-
and told us the other partisans had arrived but they were dressed in white.
-
They didn't know the password.
-
We went to the entrance door and there they were,
-
a group of 20 people all set there in front of us.
-
When they understood that we were inside the stable
-
they shouted at us to come out with our hands up.
-
Our light was burning, and one of us broke the lamp to hide us in the dark.
-
As soon as the light went off the shot at us.
-
They killed two cows and a donkey.
-
One of us had taken his shoes off and ran away barefoot.
-
We escaped to the other side of the door because we were surrounded on this side;
-
an iron door, that door was never opened before.
