Pause at Montespecchio
After the battle at Sassoguidano (Pavullo) on 21 September 1944, Armando’s partisans crossed the river and fought off two attempts by the Germans to cut off their route to Montespecchio, the first in the bed of the River Panaro and the second from Montese. Two partisans died in the fighting at Sassoguidano and the Germans killed no fewer than eight civilians there.
