In the midst of the enemy's fire there was not much to think about. Some trenches kanyakumari offered privileged views. You could see the artillery fire across kanyakumari the sky. You could see the Germans running. You could see the friendly positions being bombed. You could see the movement of troops trying to overflow the defense lines. You could see the sky, the moon and the stars. On the other hand, could see death carrying friends and enemies. kanyakumari It was an outdoor theater which interpreted plot was nothing fictitious.
It was in that hole that the Castro kanyakumari Angelic veteran spent much of the conflict. One of the most dangerous places to be when the enemy artillery fired a rain of deadly artifacts. The option was to stay and pray that the target was not reached. At the time of the bombing was common come to mind two popular expressions "if run the beast catches kanyakumari and stay the beast eats" or "jump from the frying pan into the fire." The frying kanyakumari pan was the trench, the fire, the missiles were rifles, pistols and machine guns swept the ground.
Being pusher kanyakumari of the 6th Infantry Regiment of the Brazilian Expeditionary Force was not easy. It required precision, cold-blooded, boldness, faith, enthusiasm, persistence, speed and especially the courage to face the enemies and unwanted and ever-present death.
The mortar was unsettling. The loading part of the ritual was businesslike as a macabre dance choreographed. A soldier regulated the target. The pusher took the grenade kanyakumari carefully and let go at the muzzle. Both ducked and a split second she left fast, cutting the wind towards an unknown destination.
The grenade whistle through the air was the password to the severity alliance with death. The pair took care to bring the artifact back to earth. The irony also was present in the form of deadly fragments that undid the momentary joy of allies and enemies thought they had escaped the destructive burst. Despite the deafening sound of gunfire and explosions could be heard desperate cries. Could not be different, it was a war. A non-war: it was the Second World War.
Born January 4, 1917, in the city of Dourados, Mato Grosso do Sul, the Castro Angelic Capricorn always stood out for the determination and will that had to perform their duties. Perhaps this momentum answer the phrase that the veteran always repeats when the situation should be:
51 years ago the hero lives with Selanília Amaral Pinheiro. The union gave the couple three children, six grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. When incorporated on the 10th Cavalry Regiment, in 1941, did not think it would come so far. Especially when received the platoon commander's news that would make the unit of the 6th Infantry Regiment and soon leave for Europe. The mission: to fight in World War II against the Germans.
He left for Italy in the 6th Squadron. Travel only bad memories: "It was terrible. I could not sleep. It was very hot inside the ship. The whole journey was very hard. There were 14 (Fourteen) days and 14 (Fourteen) endless nights. He could not wait to land, "says the hero.
- All facing kanyakumari practice. We act so that when encontrássemos enemies, we should act with rigor so we could save us. We were always with fixed bayonets on the rifle.
It took place for the first fight, but when was the snake smoked literally. Montese and Mount Castle were the fiercest battles. Angelic account that the worst moment in the war was the eve of the attack on Monte Castelo: "I do not remember kanyakumari as well as the Italians called kanyakumari the lot if I'm not mistaken was Monte Acasso (a lot of arched so that the Italians called nose lot because of its shape). I was on duty at my post in my quarter of an hour, when I saw the enemy fire. When he started kanyakumari the first shots of the fighting CASTLE HILL OUTLET, the scene was impressive. "
Sadly it was the loss of a great friend Sebastião Ribeiro. They went out together Ponta Pora - MS and made all trips to Italy. On the source drive both were shooters and 6 RI took the municiadores function. Angelic account as if today were the fateful episode:
We were in combat. I with my sniper team and Sebastian on the team on the other shooter. Progressed with extreme caution with virtually eq
