We heard they were moving uphill from the lowlands trying to surround the area.
-
We knew they would come by the road that begins by the church of Rivalta.

Fossoli: Russian prisoners liberated
-
The Germans had taken 250-300 Russian prisoners to a camp in Fossoli.
-
Together with the GAPs and the partisans from Modena
-
we surrounded the camp and took all the Russians to the mountains.
-
The central headquarters then took care of the rest, talking with the three Russian officers.
-
One of them later became a partisan choosing Modena as his battle name.
-
Afterwards we had a major problem in the lowlands around Reggio.
-
One of the Russians we had taken to the mountains escaped and joined the Black Brigades.
-
He knew the lowlands, since he had spent some time working in some houses there.
-
He began to point out the houses to the Black Brigades, who set them on fire.
-
Since he would come to Reggio, two of our women dispatch riders convinced him
-
to go out one night, promising him “a very good time”.
-
To make it short: he was killed.
-
Steeling ammunition
-
We figured out that the Germans
-
had put a lot of ammunition under some trees.
-
They even had the Italian sub-machine gun ammunition we had been looking for everywhere.
