"Young Heroes" sent on January 20, 2020 (22:34) by Mamaroby. 53 comments, 1153 views.

Rovistando fra le vecchie foto di famiglia, ho trovato un triste ricordo. Siamo nell'autunno avanzato del 1941 in piena guerra mondiale.Tra il folto gruppo di questi giovani marinai militava uno zio di mia moglie che con "entusiasmo" aveva risposto alla chiamata della patria partendo per l'Africa su questo incrociatore ormeggiato nel porto di Taranto. Da informazioni che abbiamo avuto, si trattava di 2 incrociatori che erano stati destinati a portare massicci rifornimenti di benzina, nafta, munizioni e viveri ai nostri connazionali a Tripoli in Libia. Appesantiti da questo notevole carico, i 2 incrociatori partirono per la missione nei primi giorni di dicembre. Ma, nel mar Mediterraneo, gli inglesi li intercettarono e, venendo a conoscenza dei piani italiani, allertarono le loro basi che si mobilitarono per bombardare le nostre navi. Venendo a mancare la sorpresa della missione (in seguito ad una serie di errori), purtroppo, gli inglesi ebbero la meglio, e a Capo Bon (Tunisia) bombardarono le nostre navi che esplosero incendiandosi e affondando. Era il 13 dicembre del 1941 e in questo terribile scontro ( Battaglia di Capo Bon) si salvarono circa 700 militari ma tra morti e dispersi ne contarono più di 800, tra questi lo zio di mia moglie. Mi scuso se mi sono dilungato un po' troppo su questa triste vicenda ma con l'occasione volevo ricordare i giovani eroi di questa inutile guerra.

Hello Rody, this picture there was run away :- : -
The caption you wrote moved me, I understand, we in the family also have missing relatives in Russia. Poor guys. For me the experience of the Second World War holds all nations still, without this experience, nowadays you want for one thing, you want for another, the powerful would wage war again
An image remember to cherish dear

Honours to the Italian dead, every war unfortunately counts human losses. Beautiful family document, testimony of a black period that involved humanity. Greetings and congratulations for posting it.

A photo from amarcord but not from film and that pushes back the mind to dark and tragic periods of human history.
Photo that comments itself and remarkable expressive document of a period of those of which humanity would and should always do without devoting efforts and energies towards more useful and shared goals.
Bravissimo Roby to propose it in the forum. A warm greeting, Claudio :-)
