European Resistance Archive/European Resistance Archive (ERA)
-
While the marshal was walking around to see what was happening, we solved the problem: he blew up on a mine.
-
We were supposed to take him alive, but we got him dead, the marshal and the soldier as well.
-
Then we had to back off of course.
-
First partisan action; arms, deportations, fear
-
After all these actions the Germans couldn’t allow us to continue any longer.
-
I guess at our headquarters they found out that there would be a mop-up.
-
Paterlini came to us saying “we must find something to blow up the bridge”, so that the trucks couldn’t get through.
-
We went there with Carretti and met with a guy working for Edison, the local electric company:
-
they had a cave so they also had TNT, mines, gunpowder…
-
We prepared the holes and then blew up a large arch of a very big bridge in Cinque Cerri.
-
Then we left for the mountains. From that day I was in battle.
-
We went to the headquarters in Lama Golese, on the Cusna mountain.
-
Pasquale Marconi was there, a teacher from Castelnovo Monti, who was a Christian Democrat, a catholic anyway.
-
Then there were Eros, Miro, a Jewish doctor who was from Jugoslavia.
-
We spent a few days there.
-
It was a sort of recruitment, but we didn’t have enough weapons;
-
we were waiting for Allied air drops that didn’t take place,
-
so they sent four of us back to Ligonchio.
-
We went to Ligonchio and there really was a crowd of partisans there.
-
Unfortunately, not all of them were armed.
