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.
-
Fortunately, my father was at home during the war.
-
He would check to see if there were Germans around in order to tell the partisans.
-
When he wasn’t working he wouldn’t sleep much, because he always had to go see if there was somebody around.
-
Did you know that they burned down a whole village if a German was killed?
-
They would destroy whatever they found, and kill ten of our people for each German who had been killed.
-
That’s why my father was very careful, they burned down only one house in Marola.
-
I don’t know if someone was wounded, since I was rarely at home at the time.
-
I was always on the move between the mountains and Reggio.
