At night the commander told us:
-
"Now we have to set up a really safe guard because the Germans are everywhere.
-
You can see them, so keep your eyes open and be careful
-
because if we happen to do something
-
or to kill a German they're going to burn down the entire village".
-
So at 3 a.m. we were ordered to move
-
because by that time there were no partisans around,
-
so we were the last lines moving and could be calm.
-
The "staffette" told us that the streets were clear, so we started walking.
-
We were looking left and right, there was only fog.
-
So we went into the Enza river
-
and there was not even a small stick where we could have hidden
-
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.
