Relic hunters in Italy came across a cartridge case that had been pulled apart and re-purposed as a note-holder. Well the note inside, dating back to 1944-ish, written in Italian is in some sort of code:

When decoded and translated into English its to the affect of :

       THEY – THROW – GRENADES – WE – PULL – PINS – AND – THROW – BACK

       NOTIFY REINFORCEMENTS STAND DOWN – NOT NEEDED

The believed explanation is that it was written by pro-Allied Italian forces who were fighting Germans on the road to the Alps and said grey suits were using Italian grenades on them– without pulling the second pin.

Why do Italian grenades have two pins? The rest here after the jump.
