I would have eaten the slips of paper if I was caught.
-
To give you an example, when they told me to go and inform the others that a mop-up was scheduled, lead by Dolmann or Surmann,
-
who were in charge of these things, I would write down the most important names and information.
-
At first they had given me the battle name Libertà (Freedom). Later I was called Giorgio, but at the beginning it was Libertà, or maybe Volontà.
-
I didn’t even know they had written that name down.
-
Maybe it was at the time of the wounded man, when they wrote that I had gone back home.
-
I was given that card in Busana, then they took it away from me in Albinea, and it’s still there.
-
I don’t have that card now: it was given to me when we had to go to the mountains with the wounded man,
-
all the way into the province of Modena, before I came home alone and my sister stayed there.
-
I left after no more than two days, I had to go see my parents.
-
So I really can’t recall if my first battle name was Libertà or Volontà.
-
My sister’s battle name was Foresta, and she was given that name right away,
-
just like me, but I didn’t keep it long enough to bother knowing it.
-
There was also this other boy from Parma who was in Busana, in Castelnuovo,
-
and that’s where we were handed these documents that I don’t have anymore.
-
Later I went on working with Kiss. Since we were all women, he suggested I could choose a man’s name,
-
so I was given the battle name Giorgio and that’s the name I always used.
-
Sister joins the partisans
-
My sister joined the partisans after she had an argument with our mayor.
-
She declared she would join the partisans from Carpineti because she wanted the war to end. She was furious.
