Acts of sabotage on the railway
-
Gordon was in charge of organizing things.
-
They had captured a German,
-
so he told us we had to go and attack the train that took ammunition to the front line.
-
We decided to go and left with two big bombs and a donkey, heading to Baiso.
-
The donkey was really slow, so by the time we got there we had already walked for seven or eight hours.
-
There was also this boy with us who was from Baiso, his name was Barozzi, who died very young.
-
I guess Gordon told him that it would have been impossible to carry weapons and ammunition far away,
-
so they went to a garage and they gave us a “millecento” car.
-
They worked day and night to get the car ready and only left the following day,
-
while I had to leave before, by foot. They arrived the day after.
-
I had to get there earlier to tell everybody that a German car was arriving,
-
but that the three men in it were partisans. I had a document.
-
I don’t know if you noticed that there’s a copy of it in Gordon’s book.
-
The English had written that whatever happened they would have rewarded us.
-
So I had this letter and I told them not to shoot at the car
-
since the men in it were three partisans who were coming to blow up the bridge.
-
Everything went well that day and I stayed there even the day after,
-
because it took me more than a full day to go back down from Baiso to Soliera.
-
I wrote it in a book in order to remember where it was: Cortile, near Campogalliano.
