Statement of Ida Caracchi about some Allied servicemen

Ida Caracchi claims she helped ten Allied servicemen. She and her husband hid them in a house located in an isolated area in the village of Striglianella, near Pistoia, bringing food and clothes. Later, they were recaptured; on 4 August 1944 German soldiers shot Ida’s husband and dynamited her house.
