HE WAS MY FATHER DEDICATED TO -SMARTER EVERY DAY-

This object is part of my family history, this object is a bomb.

I see many channels lately talking about weapons, submarines, warships, presenting them as something normal, something beautiful... One of them is Smarter every day, but there are many others.

This is a true story and it is about me, a hand grenade and two 12 year old children.

It is the summer of 1956 in post-war Italy. We are in Sicily, in a small mountain village called Nicosia and two boys were playing on a meadow while watching goats, one of them was my father.

these are years of poverty in italy and even more so in sicily, my father lives with his mother having been orphaned a few months after birth.

That afternoon, his friend holds a small bundle in his hand; it is the same object you can see above, the same model and flaming red in colour.

He found it underneath some straw, at his grandparents', and if he found it, he was immediately seized even though he didn't know what it was and imagined it was a toy ... whatever that means.

The afternoon passes with the two friends lying on the grass looking at this strange toy, they pass it from hand to hand, curiosity grows and they want to find out what is inside.

But the strange object doesn't open, it's stuck, so they keep looking for a way, they lift the safety catch, they arm the bomb without knowing it, and still they can't open it.

The moment becomes excited, it's a challenge to solve, they decide to destroy the strange egg with stone blows, my father would like to do it himself but the owner claims his right to do it, on the other hand it was he who found it.

My father, reluctantly waiting, lies on the ground side by side in a small hollow so that he can look at the goats, if something were to happen to him it would be very serious given the economic conditions of the family, the goats are not even owned by them, they are just watching them.



My father's memories end here, he doesn't remember explosions, nothing at all, he just remembers standing in the street, all bloody, with hundreds of shrapnel in his body, he walks along the road home like an automaton, someone sees him, a car is recovered, he is taken to hospital.
He manages to survive but keeps dozens and dozens of splinters in his body forever, removing them all would have been riskier than leaving them there, that's what the doctors tell him, his X-rays and scars will testify to that event for his whole life.

His friend was recovered completely dismembered in a district of several meters.

The bomb was a bomb identical to this one that they reviewed in the video: an SRCM 35, it was a very sophisticated and safe Italian-made hand grenade for the time, the mechanism, once armed, detonated it after a blow, wherever it came from, for this reason they managed to pass it from hand to hand even though they had armed it, the collision with the stone made it explode later.



My father left us several years ago, but his story may make you think and I wanted to share it with you, maybe could be useful to someone.

Weapons are not interesting things, they are not beautiful, weapons are made to end the lives of humans we don't know, simply because some powerful bastards want to increase their power.

Don't get sponsored by death, there are much better arguments.
Hi Destin. I'm sure you can bring much better topics on your channel in the future, don't take it personally, a hug.
