War is the most brutal: what I can't forget the most is what Peregia's fiancé Mandras said when he wanted the captain to leave his weapons to the guerrillas before he evacuated the island: It's hard to say who to believe. The surface of the war is cruel, but the conspiracy behind the war is even more chilling. The Germans demanded that the Italians disarm and then send the Italians back home. But the unarmed Italian soldiers were pulled by a cart and shot to death.
What the old father said was right: God must have his reasons for letting you survive. I believe that a person has his reasons, leaving a person also has his reasons, and staying alive has his own reasons.
