...and, minutes later, that heartbreaking scene in a corn field (meadow?) with the desparate young boy and his fascist father on the run: but we will win daddy? we are right aren't we? Daddy?
I knew people who lived through these events in Bologna, 1943 - 1945. The late Simonetta Franchi used to end her reminiscences of those events with "...and I hope my kids never see anything like that!"
