“Bandiera rossa, let’s go, at arms, etc.”

I was really surprised because I didn’t even know these songs, not even “Bandiera rossa”.
-
What happened next?
-
The fascists had found out that there was a column of people coming.
-
They thought it was Germans or fascists but it was our own people.
-
It was Luigi, who had been informed about the battle in Cerrè after he had disarmed the fascists in Gatta.
-
He decided to make an effort to sneak up behind the Germans.
-
After he arrived we took control to the north, south and east.
-
The Germans could only make it towards the west, but at that point they disbanded.
-
Some ran away, 22 surrendered.
-
The battle ended at around two in the afternoon.
-
Ten Germans had died, along with many wounded,
-
and we had 22 prisoners who had surrendered.
-
On our side there were seven casualties and eleven wounded.
-
It was one of the heaviest battles during the whole Resistance.
-

-
because there really wasn’t any organization yet.
-
They were they first ones.
