One of the most tragic and mournful events that affected the Resistance in the Val d'Arda was certainly the massacre at the Guselli Pass, by German troops and the soldiers of the National Republican Guard.
The events began on the morning of 4 December 1944, when the Guselli area of Morfasso was reached by a column of Nazi soldiers, in particular belonging to the Turkestan division (called "the Mongols") mixed with Republican exponents, who dispersed in the nucleus inhabited in search of food.
A local partisan, Oreste Scaglioni, an eyewitness to the episode, reported that in the fight and in the moments that followed it the German soldiers showed much more clemency than the forces of the Republic of Salò, who instead became the protagonists of some cold-blooded killings, even of partisans now rendered harmless and disarmed. Of the approximately sixty partisans present on the various vehicles, twenty-five were killed in the fighting on the Po
