When they arrived they had to do a horse-shoe, that’s why it was important to stop them.
-
Stopping them from getting to the front 24 hours earlier during the attack,
-
and forcing them to dig the mountain, build a horse-shoe in order to be able to get through:
-
those things you had to do with hoes, there were no bulldozers then.

Attempt to arrest a German marshall
-
One night we went to Acqua Bona with Carretti
-
and many partisans because we had to apprehend a German marshal
-
who was taking milk away from the farmers, sending it out to the headquarters in Busana.
-
The villages were full of people, the inhabitants had asked us to go take him.
-
Caretti ordered us to wrap up our shoes with some bags in order not to make noise,
-
but it didn’t work because the villages were full of shepherds and they had dogs.
-
The dogs heard us and started barking.
-
At that point the marshal came out with a soldier to see what was going on,
-
why the dogs were still barking.
-
We had put some mines on the road,
-
so that if we had to fight, the soldiers who came down from Nismozza would walk into the mines.
-
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.
