Pratovecchio

Death under bombardment/air-raid
According to archival sources the woman died from the effects of an aerial bombardment, however there are no reports of air-raids in the Casentino that day. It is more likely that the woman was killed accidentally by shell fire from the anti-aircraft battalion of the Armoured Parachute Division Hermann Göring, which operated from Casalino and Lonnano using wheeled artillery to comb the forest in search of partisans.
