Statement of Idelinzo Ferri about some Allied servicemen

Idelinzo Ferri claims he helped allied prisoners of war from September 1943 to January 1944. He gave them food and provided shelter in his house. One morning, while his wife was away, she was recaptured by fascist militiamen and German soldiers who took her to Villa Rospigliosi, near Pistoia, for questioning. Then she and other women were taken to the village of Tobbiana for further questioning, but they did not reveal the whereabouts of the men. Despite the incident, the Ferri continued to help them.
