Cercava la morte


In 2010,*Jay Nordlinger*spoke with von Speck's daughter, who claimed that the general deliberately sought death in battle: "According to his daughter, he wanted to die, and arranged to die. He felt he could not break his*oath*to the army — he could not*desert. And his*Catholic faith*prevented him from committing*suicide*— suicide straight out, you might say. So, he put himself in the line of fire. In his dying words, he did not say, 'Give my love to my family', or anything like that. He said, 'It had to be this way'.”
