However
-
the Nazi fascists had also been looking at that area, just like us.
-
At a certain point they decided to do a mop-up to free the area.
-
They were going to do it with such forces, machine guns and heavy ammunition.
-
They would have more or less destroyed our whole organization.
-
We met at the headquarters and decided we had to leave.
-
As usual it was the dispatch-rider who had to face this battle,
-
in order to go and inform all our comrades, otherwise they would have been slaughtered.
-
If they couldn’t be ready in time, they could at least withdraw before they all got killed.
-
At a certain point I declared I would go.
-
I already knew the area. I had gone there often.
-
We had many families of peasants there, wonderful families.
-
I said: “I’m going, give me the gun and I’ll head over there”.
-
I was given the orders, essentially those that could be remembered and passed on and left.
-
I met this patrol. What could I do?
-
They ordered me to stop. I pulled my gun and started to shoot.
-
I shot while I was riding the bicycle, I shot as long as I could carry on until I reached the right place and inform all the others.
-
After that we spread the news quite quickly.
-
I managed to get through all these bullets,
-
this mess because when it was them shooting they didn’t need to save ammunition.
