Il #26settembre 1944 a #BassanodelGrappa, furono impiccati 31 giovani patrioti, arrestati nei giorni precedenti. Furono caricati su un camion, con le mani legate con il fil di ferro dietro la schiena e un cartello al collo (“Bandito”).1
Un giovane milite fascista metteva al collo del prigioniero un cappio fatto con un cavo telefonico, fissato all’albero del Viale principale di #BassanodelGrappa. Una brusca accelerata e il partigiano rimaneva appeso all’albero.2
31 fermate, 31 cappi con il filo del telefono, 31 accelerate. E i corpi lasciati per 22 ore appesi, tra i lazzi e le offese dei fascisti ragazzini.
