"We are ready for the great test between Italian armaments and Ethiopian fortitude," Ras Nassibu said. "Thus far we have withstood the bombing, gassing and machine-gunning which the Italians have directed upon us.
Now we want the invaders to attempt a mass assault against our rifles and cutlasses. -----"Our gendruts, including Wassily = V
