"Young Heroes" sent on January 20, 2020 (22:34) by Mamaroby. 53 comments, 1152 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.

Beautiful document.
Bravissimo to have published it.
Photography is also a way to make immortal things and especially people that history overwhelms.
Immagino the trepidation of those young people, a little afraid, a little exalted by the idea of adventure and patriotic pride.

Thank you for sharing this important image, a testimony that goes beyond affections. You did not dwell on it, on the contrary. Thanks to the words you write, there is a statement that should become a dogma at the base of every culture: "this useless war". It is vweo, as it is true that history has never seen any useful wars, at least for those who in one way or another have always died on the battlefields.
That the memory never goes out.
Thanks
