hello; these writings were from farid fazliahmetov.he was a partisan miner and talked about the way he used explosives on the german invaders etc. .............' to combat partisan harrassment on the railways,the germans built fortifications,laid mines around crossings,stations and bridges,and then chopped down trees on both sides of the tracks.guards mowed down people who appeared on the tracks or anywhere near them.we often watched german sappers with mine detectors and dogsmoving down railway tracks,preceded by guards on both sides of the tracks who also had dogs with them sometimes.what we did was to lay our mines after the guards had gone.fooling the bloodhounds was more difficult.they had been trained to nose out tolite[a compound of tnt],so they found the mines.then we started to divert there atttention by dropping little bits of melted tolite here and there.the dogs would mistake thses for mines.they would be then punished for that,and start ignoring the real mines.' the germans remarked wrily: ' the partisans have recruited our dogs ' cheers mark _______________________________________________ Leninist-International mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To change your options or unsubscribe go to: http://lists.wwpublish.com/mailman/listinfo/leninist-international
