Among September 29 and October 5, 1944 in a hundred small towns scattered around the sun in the municipalities of Monte Marzabotto Monzuno Grizzana and Morandi are massacred about 770 people. XIdivisione perpetrators of the massacre is the armored grenadier ss (reichfuhrer-ss), reinforced from other units including some units of the Wehrmacht, the perpetrators of the massacre were identified in Max Simon, commander of the division, Helmut Loos, head of information division command and Walter Reder, the commander of troops in action. Reder unit is stained from early August to mid October 1944 a number of massacres and killings throughout the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines.
Of these Walter Reder will remain after the war some thirty years in prison before being released in 85-after repeated requests for grace and mobilization in her favor in Germany and Austria carried out by groups ranging from right-wing nationalists to 'association of ex-soldiers to the Catholic Church and die in the 91st Vienna. At the Military Tribunal of La Spezia, between February 2006 and January 2007, was reopened a trial on the criminal liability of 17 former German SS soldiers accused for the crimes perpetrated in the fall of 1944 at Monte Sole, 695 trial dossiers for decades, took place on Nazi massacres in Italy have been hidden in the corridors of Military Prosecutor General of Rome, Palazzo Cesi, forget the infamous "closet of shame" with a measure of "temporary storage" (this is the unusual formula printed on the cards). In those years could have been ex-SS judge other criminals involved in the killings of Monte Sole.Dopo 62 years, have finally made possible new investigations. The ruling of January 13, 2007 subscribes 7 life sentences and 10 acquittals. Important step in a journey that still has not reached the end. Other responsibilities are to be established, including new appeals and investigations.
In German report of this massacre October 2, 1944 (Marzabotto massacre remembered as a national symbol of anti-gold medal of the resistance-but that actually includes all the territory around Mount only) describes how an ordinary mopping up action against Red Star partisan brigade that operated in the area since September '43 and was continuing his fight against nzifascismo with guerrilla and sabotage.
Indeed, even though the general framework where to put these facts is the occupation Germany and Italy in the repression of the partisan massacre could not be read as a regular anti-partisan operation, but an action improvised hot-as-Gentile says as a planned campaign of annihilation.
If in fact we see who are the dead risultan the majority being women and older children if you investigate the mode of killing is in the light of the criminal violence of the German occupiers.

I think the facts speak for themselves: I believe-for example -69 people gathered under a porch They come in with machine guns and massacred, 20 are ibambini; Cerpiane to 49 people including 20 children 27 elderly women 2 They come in closed oratory and killed in a bomb throwing hand, a man on guard in front of the shotgun who was trying to get out, 16 people were found alive the next morning and killed after a long agony. Fixed to the door a wooden sign "this is the fate of those supporting the partisans" They come in Casaglia surprises 85 people in a church during Mass, the priest is killed before the altar, women and children gathered in the cemetery and murdered.
In the final report German falsified the facts They come (and still current revisionist negazionise and try to hide the truth): German list of dead They come in those days counted as civilians parigiani behind "supporters of bands" They come hidden children killed (between 29/30settembre they are slaughtered under 13anni 213), is given false news of the discovery of weapons and documents el 'entire action is portrayed as a success antipartigiano (when in fact most of the partisan brigade had moved elsewhere the night between 29 and September 30).
I think it's important not to forget what happened, not to obscure the facts, recognize responabilità (also from the Italian side) to what is avvenutoin throughout the territory affected by the violence of CSR and the occupying Germans.
For 25aprile the truth.
