Emperor Haile Selassie on the battlefield fighting for Ethiopia!
On December 6th Fascist bombers dropped over 40 bombs on Dessie.
Haile Selassie manned an Oerlikon anti-aircraft gun, aimed the barrel, & fired until his arms shook with fatigue

When the bombing was over, the Italians had killed 43 people.
A mother & her 2 small children were blown to bits on a road.
200 people were wounded.
The Italians specifically targetted the Red Cross & destroyed the medical centers to prevent any wounded from being treated.
