stopping every now and then to ask people if they had seen a partisan unit with a woman. Actually there were two women in the unit then.
-
Somebody finally knew where they were, taking me to Gova, towards Mt. Penna, very far away.
-
They had run away there because the Germans were looking for them.
-
She would always walk behind the rest of the group because she would take care of the wounded.
-
She wouldn’t carry them, there were others who would help her, but they didn’t have vehicles or horses, nothing at all,
-
so they would often improvise a stretcher – they called it a ladder – and put a cloth over it, if they had one.
-
That’s how four men would carry the wounded.

Brother at war
-
My oldest brother had already left for the war in 1939.
-
I was looking at some postcards the other night, and the first were sent in 1939 from Albania.
-
He was in the Julia Alpini Brigade and had been in Udine for a while,
-
before he was sent to Albania and then to Greece and Russia.
-
It was really rough for my brother, poor guy!
-
He was sent to Albania, then to Greece and finally to Russia. When he came back from Russia he was ill.
-
Actually, they thought he was dead. They were picking up bodies from the Don
-
and they thought he was dead, but he was only frostbitten and suffering.
-
I guess they slowly revived him and managed to bring him back to Italy, to Rimini.
-
They kept him there for three months and we never even went to visit him,
-
because there was no way for us to get there.
-
I did go to Milan by foot, but Rimini seemed really too far.
