Via Rasella - a photo on Flickriver

Via Rasella

            Luciana Bohne narrates:
"On March 23, 1944, a Nazi military convoy, that wound its way each day routinely into the city at the same time, about 2:30 in the afternoon,
was ambushed by resistance fighters.
The manner and cost of the attack in via Rasella are one of the bloodiest pages in the history of the Italian resistance.
Men on roofs, armed with hand grenades and rifles, observed the approach of the Nazi convoy and signaled their entrance into via Rasella, a narrow street, to a fighter disguised as a street sweeper.
Next to him was a garbage cart stuffed with explosives.
On receiving the signal, the "street sweeper" lit the one-minute long thread that ignited the cart.
At the front of the convoy, only meters away from the explosion, German soldiers died, blown to pieces. Simultaneously, the men on the roof fired grenades and rifle shots into the rear of the convoy.
Thirty-two German troops died in the attack".
