if the fog lifted.

"Mirco" had a partisan in his team, a big man that lived in this area,
-
and he asked to give him a person that could go with him to his place
-
to get a rope for crossing the river because the water was high.
-
So they came back with the rope
-
and we tied one end to the big rocks on one shore
-
and the other end to the saddle of a little white horse that we had.
-
The horse was very skinny and was standing just because it had four legs.
-
We crossed the river walking in the water and holding the rope.
-
We had water up to our shoulders,
-
I was holding my machine gun on one side and the rope on the other side.
-
"Mirko" and the big man, Giovannone, that was the name we were calling him,
-
went first and then told us to do the same.
-
I was one of the first ones to cross the river and all of a sudden the fog lifted.
-
It seemed to be done on purpose:
-
all of a sudden you could see the street all the way up to Vetto.
-
There were some Germans and when they saw us they started to shoot at us,
-
we could hear the bullets whistle into the water, it was terrible.
-
On the other shore there were the partisans from Parma
-
and when they heard the Germans starting to shoot at us, they started to shoot at us, too.
