„There we went, entered inside. We were arriving here regularly, to clash with them. We were just simply clashing with them. We were, because English and Angloamerican were constantly choosing sides with baccoli neri, sides of irredenta to say it in that way...“ „Actually a fascist.“ „Well a fascist part, but also a part of those who weren't fascists but were keen to, because let me tell you something. Don't forget it. Even our partisans in Italy as the Italian fascists when talking about Istria, they all think the same you know. Don't forget that. They don't like that, our partisans, all of them, to some it's...., but to most of them no, no, most of them are very nostalgic towards Istria. That's why it is so, we...they can very quickly harmonize their positions about Istria you know. That's why we, so the English were always choosing...we were, our gropu from Ližnjan, we would come here well prepared and always protesting, there we would get, with water cannons cleaned up, all wet, we would alwys fight with them, manifested they on the this side, and we on the other side. And we took two drunk Englishmen and stripped them naked, mother naked because they were arguing with us, what they had said I didn't understand, but they were drunk. We stripped them naked. We didn't beat them, but we stripped them naked and there behind the cinema building, what is the name of that cinema, it's name used to be Belgrade.“ „There is no cinema there anymore, only a garage.“ „Yes. But behind that are ruins, that building where the store was, there where you go to Šišan. That was a ruin, where a bomb strucked, that was a ruin. And in that ruin we pulled them in that ruin and stripped them naked and let them alone.“

„We were on the 2nd of May, nobody can tell me that was 1st or 3rd or 5th, I even think that was the first unit that entered Pula, that's my opinion according to all literature that I had read, by everything I know because from that place, there from airport we were all going to shoot, I had a machine gun i we were entering the city through Šijana, and there's a church, first houses on the right, there opposite Pula two women. Those were the only civilians that I have seen that day in Pula, and in Pula there were maybe even 40 000 inhabitants, Those two women in the yard were watching us. I was relatively little, I grew up later. And one of them said: „Well look at that youngster, - I remembered that vividly – „he is also a partisan.“
