It was 10 February and the hill was covered in fog. A thin layer of snow had fallen, and I was shivering with the cold. The Germans were acting as if they were on an exercise. They were writing official notes and, in the rooms of the Citadel, commands brought by messengers kept everybody awake. Groups of German officers, in correct uniforms, were giving instructions to some German infantry units. They were directing the alignment of the machine guns, pointing out the enemy lines and issuing orders to fire. The men were lying in the snow and firing, with the officers standing next to them and paying no attention to the whistling bullets. It all seemed like a dream. When one officer fell another took his place, apparently without realising that this was the end. Basically they were seeking death because they knew that for them there was no other solution.²
