The BRUTAL Execution Of Benito Mussolini - Italy's Dictator
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 вер 2024
- During the Second World War, there was one man who was idolised and best friends with Adolf Hitler. Benito Mussolini had risen to prominence in Italy with his fascist party long before Hitler did with the Nazis in Germany, and both of them became very close. During World War 2, Mussolini allied himself with the Nazis and Italy joined the Axis forces, and he pledged much support in terms of his army to Hitler and the two became inseparable. There were regular meetings between both of them, but as the Second World War played out, things went poorly for the Italians.
They fought in North Africa and alongside the Germans in Europe, however they were nowhere near as good a military as the Germans, and they suffered big losses. Mussolini himself was ousted out of power, and was captured during the conflict before Hitler arranged for him to be broken out of captivity. However as World War 2 was coming to an end, Mussolini was on the run from the Partisan government running Italy who wanted to execute any remaining members of the Fascist government. Mussolini eventually was captured, and his death was hastily arranged.
He was captured alongside his mistress Clara Petacci, and together they were executed close to Lake Como by assassins who shot them both. Their bodies were then taken to Milan and displayed publicly in which an angry mob targeted them with abuse. Shortly after Mussolini's death, Hitler then got his final affairs in order before he too died days later inside his bunker in Berlin.

Dude. You really do not describe Mussolini's execution as "one of the most brutal acts of WW2". That's completely ridiculous considering the absolutely brutal and inhumane atrocities committed upon million of innocent civilians.
Yea, the Holodomor and what the Bolsheviks did in Russia was by far the worst, yet rarely talked about in Western Media/Hollywood... I wonder why???
@@joebauers3746 one reason is because most sources related to these events weren’t accessible until the end of the Cold War. And since then few have been translated into English. So accessibility is still an issue.
Couldn’t agree more Carrie! Jumped when I heard that. The rape of Berlin by soviet army/ the blitz on London etc / and oh yes... the extermination camps 🙄.
Bit of hyperbole there at least !!
@@cheshirecat1212 You may want to read the three volume epic Gulag Archipelago by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn in which he says something to the effect of "The reason why we do not hear much about what happened in Russia is because the perpetrators are the same people who are in control of media throughout the West today". Also, Warning to the West, by Solzhenitsyn.

Getting shot in the chest is not brutal at all. To say this is one of the most brutal ways to die in ww2 is insane.
Brutal? Just take a walk around Warsaw and see the plaques of brutality, (For a start). I do not understand why they killed Petacci. She should have been taken back to her family.
It’s not brutal by WW2 standards but being shot to death is still brutal, as well as what happened to the body afterwards.
@@johnsantilli7096 Clara Petacci was killed because she was Mussolini's mistress; she was viewed as a traitor by most Italians. Plus, these were communist partisans, so they already had ideological reasons to hate her. (She was a semi-famous actress and model, which automatically made her a symbol of the Bourgeoisie in their eyes.) But I agree with you; the partisans went entirely too far by killing her.
@@GamerX51 I see your point. She must have been hated a lot to hang her upside down as she was not in politics and had nothing to do with the fate of Italy. Just a witness. Maybe the lot of concubines as opposed to wives. Would a wife have had the same fate if she had been sitting next to him ?
@@johnsantilli7096 Being married to Mussolini wouldn't have made a difference; Her fate would have been exactly the same either way. Perhaps if Petacci had been quieter about her relationship with Mussolini and hadn't tried to use it as a springboard to advance her modeling career, things might have played out differently for her. Clara Petacci was very open about the fact that her and El Duce were an item. She was also a very vocal and ardent supporter of The Fascist Party. All of these things made her a very visible target for Mussolini's enemies.
Also, there were political reasons as to why the partisans chose to kill them both as fast as possible; the Americans were rapidly advancing through northern Italy, and the partisans knew that if the Americans seized control of that area before they could execute Mussolini, they would have forced the partisans to hand him over to them. They would have taken Mussolini to Nuremburg and put him on trial with the rest of the War Criminals, and they absolutely did not want that to happen.
In my humble opinion, dying of starvation in a death camp is much MUCH worse than the way Mussolini was dispatched....
Yes dying of starvation in a labor camp was bad, but if the Royal Air Force and US Air Force planes hadn't bombed the railway lines and roads leading to these camps then the prisoners never would've starved would they.
@@Smudgeroon74 You're 100% right, the Jew's nazi overseers in those camps wanted them happy and healthy and would have fed them like kings and queens...
Or a gulag
@@hallucinatedovens8414 yep Gulags run by the criminal Soviet state.
@@lukewarmwater5320 you're missing the whole point about why the 2nd World War was really all about. I suggest you find the secret history and study that.
Am I missing something? How was this execution "BRUTAL"? Seems pretty standard to me, death by firing squad.
Click bait...
I think it’s what happened after that was considered brutal.
Yeah, his dead corpse and his mistress was abused
@Lumbago Should've done it when he was alive.
@Lumbago yea but the dude said the execution was brutal not after that
My grandfather, U.S. Army Sgt James H. Belter fought at the battle of Anzio in Italy. It was a *BAD* campaign for U.S. forces as they suffered heavy casualties. He ended up briefly a prisoner of war and ended up escaping after killing his Nazi captor in hand to hand combat. After taking the Nazi's gun he escaped and managed to reunite with what remained of his unit. My grandfather is in published footage of the U.S. forces that went through Milan (he saw Mussolini hanging upside down). I inherited the Nazi proofed CZ 27 pistol he took from his captor (he died less than a decade b4 I was born). That gun to me is a reminder that the fight against despotism and tyranny is UNENDING. I passed this gun to my oldest son and have instilled in him an understanding that freedom is *NOT* free in any way........
Cheers to a true American hero
🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲 your grandfather was a true American hero!
Freedom is not free, and from time to time the tree must be watered...
....but in an America that has grown fat and comfortable, who wants to go first?
@@pm3434 Uhhh.... Yeah..... He managed to escape being tortured to death. He also was able to conceive my mother who in turn conceived me, and so on in the young generation of my children. Who the fuck are you and why do you even care to comment???
WHAT AN AMAZING HISTORY UR FAMILY HAS! Being a HUGE fan of ALL historical events ur account of what ur grandfather endured was in all honesty.. PRETTY MUCH EXACTLY ehat he went thru! I actually recognized ur grandfathers name when i read it! Ur Grandad was quite the man from what Ive read thru out my research into WW2! My Grandfather & 2 of his brothers, William(uncle Bill) older by 2 yrs & Fred(Spark) a yr Grandad's junior, all 3 were infantry when they enlisted shortly before the start of tbe war, uncle Spark clumbing thru the ranks as he perfected his knack in explosives. My Grandad Ernie, was seriously injured being accidentally crushed between 2 trucks when 1 truck rolled into tbe other trapping Grandad from the waist down, completely crushing both legs which inevitably probably saved his life as the accident prevented him from being shipped out to head over sees with the rest of the men that those trucks were scheduled to transport to the plane flying them out not long after his accident. Unfortunately Im unaware if uncle Bills rank & experiences during his sevice
Luckily all 3 came home, arriving 1 after the other my Grandfather was first to make it home in the early days if 1946 after over a year in hospital cast from the waist down nervously awaiting the verdict on whether his legs would need to be amputated at the hip. YES he did manage to walk on his own legs, however the next 53+ yrs of his life was an ongoing rollercoaster of lengthly hospitizations & drs debates in whether to remove his legs or take the chance that theyd be able to successfully prevent amputation. Im not sure exactly when Spark returned home, i know it was after Grandad & before uncle Bill whim returned around the end of July begining of August of 1947. Shortly after his return, the youngest of the family (she was 11)& who I am named after was abducted & murdered in September of 1947. At the time my Grandfather was 27, Bill was 29 & Spark 26(?).
Its wonderdul that ur Grandad passed his aervice weapon to u & u in turn passing it in to ur iwn son! That service weapon is literally a historical war artifact & a stark reminder how amazing it is that u can gaze upon the very article that is VERY PIVOTAL in every single generation after ur grandfather even exsisting! U guys are all here BECAUSE if ur grandfathers service weapon, so now everytime anyone in ur family sees that service weapon ur can remind urselves how precious each moment of every life is & how much respect those old war artifacts, & any weapon tbh desrve ALL of humanities DEEPEST RESPECT..
I send u & ur family the best of all things positive, & best wushes for all. & nothing but my outmost respect for ur amazing grandfather!
Hitler had every reason to fear capture after Berlin fell because what the Soviets would have done to him would have made what happened to Mussolini look tame.
Tame, like a homecoming party! ......
I'm certain Hitler faked his death and fled to Antarctica. Fascist SHOULD be brutally executed. Now just as then...
You act like thats a bad thing
@@terrorgaming459 How so, there is no judgment of it involved I'm simply stating a fact.
@@terrorgaming459 it is a bad thing indeed if you are the guy on the reciveing end
“One of the most brutal events of the Second World War” ??? I scoff at that incredibly inane statement.
I thought this was pretty tame myself too
Yeah, I’m sure there are many concentration camp survivors who might beg to differ.
I thought the same
The deaths in the extermination camps were far more brutal.
@Steven Johnston lololol
I had a history teacher from Italy who was there as a child and saw the body of Benito Mussolini hanging on display.
Intresting comment, thanks for sharing 👍
I have two photo's at home taken by my dad, one of Mussolini and Clara hanging upside down and one just after they had been cut down.
My mother was there too in Piazzale Loreto in Milano when his body and others were hanging head down end April 1945. She still remember as an horrific vision. Women standing there were the most violent in showing their anger and violating his/their body. Communist partisans killed him and Claretta Petacci for not wanting to hand him over to the Americans troops that were reaching the aerea.
You can easily Google the pictures of those two pigs hanging like sacks of meat.
Some interesting comments here. Thx for posting and thx other people for the replies.
His brain was removed in the Square as well. If you see certain pics you can see his head is totally deflated without form. He was not disfigured by the beatings because his blood had stopped therefore no swelling could happen during the beatings. The disfigurement was due to the lack of bone and brain matter.
Cool!
Speaking of his brain, Parts of it were briefly put up on Ebay not long ago, 2009 I think.
@@LiberatingReality that will go well with the spaghettini and meatballs!
@@PulpFictionized that's a spicy meatuhball
his brain was removed bc the mob doesnt have any
Four bullets to his heart? He was dead before he hit the ground and likely felt none of it. Literally didn’t know what hit him. Not nearly brutal enough.
Four 9mm FMJ "ice picks" to the chest? I've shot rabbits with that round and left plenty to eat. It isn't terribly destructive. BM likely lay with shattered ribs and possibly a shattered spine, his lungs slowly filling until he drown. Were his heart hit, he still likely had 60 seconds or better to feel it.
Not that I give too much of a damn in his case. In the context of ths 1940s, killing his wife might have been...unnecessary.
WTF where your humanity he might have done evil things but you could just Shot him in the head I couple times Jesus and you consider yourself human heh pathetic
@@jacobmccandles1767Still, still, that's not as bad. Bad, sure... but that type of pain to me, isn't the worst in terms of pain categories. Compared to classics like bludgeoning, burning, shredding, ... piercing ain't so bad, it's a clean pain. Not that I've been shot in the heart lol... Close though actually, stabbed in the lungs. Not the same, but that wasn't _horrible_. But it's all relative anyway. A kill shot is a lot better than bleeding out in a field, being blown apart, burned, gassed, starved etc. etc. it's probably better than most natural deaths I might wager. Death is just gnarly, to where a shot to the heart ain't too bad.
@@JunkBondTrader yeah, I would agree with that.
Do you think the heart is a power off button? lol its likely that he felt his heart stop pumping blood around his body and suffocated from lack of oxygen. hardly painlesd
The good old days when criminal politicians were brought to justice.........
What about Stalin ?
@jean krus Can't wait till we string up Fauci upside down and leave him there.
Ceausescu endured a similar end.
@jean krus no, sweetie. The criminals are the ones who tried to overthrow the results of an election and kill Democratic politicians.
@@BTScriviner - they didn’t even begin to try an overthrow. That’s not how it is done. There have been many overthrows all over the world and none were done as the criminal dems would have many believe. It was years in the making and after having all the components finally all in place were the dems able to sham an election and claim an idiot that had no one at his rallies had gotten so many votes as to beat the favorite to win. The states having audits are coming up proving the books were cooked and everyone knows it.

How do you consider that BM’s execution was one of the most brutal, he was shot, millions of people were shot and died horrific painful deaths, he was very fortunate to have been dead when the crowd got hold of his body. The treatment of his body after he was dead wasn’t brutal either, how can it be brutal if you’re dead? Maybe the autopsy was ‘brutal’ as he would have been cut open without an anaesthetic 😂
True!!!!!! 🐩🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Well, this man is working class English. He has an involuntary reverence for any high status person, never mind a head of state. Ergo, Mussolini's quick death by firing squad was "brutal." The deaths of those he had murdered and tortured were simply de rigueur. Besides, "brutal" sounds much more sensational--again, working class English.

They'd been given little wooden guns, with wooden bullets. Dad told them to just go home. They Liberated Rome, pretty quick, once they got thru with Anzio Beach. Which you never hear the truth about that in history books.

I remembering reading Mussolini's biography in high school. Nothing really about his life impressed me, and his brutal dictatorship was to be expected. However, when I got up to the part where he was executed (mercy killing on behalf of Italy) and everything that was "returned in kind" to his corpse, I realized the kindest thing the Italian people did was to tie Carla's skirt down as to afford her a bit of dignity in post mortem.

Ooooh look how morally righteous we are, nobody was expecting sympathy, stupid
I know a man, still living today, that fought in Italy and saw Mussolini's body hanging in Milan. While they were invading Italy, his ship was sunk by the Luftwaffe. They fished him and others out of the sea, and took him in, landing south of Monte Cassino.
Yeah, Joe's one of my heroes!
BRUTAL? Nothing compared to his reign.
Maybe he means it like in the Death Metal sense, as in totally fucking awesome lol.
Precisely. He was just shot for all the crimes he had committed. Many thousands of Italians had died or suffered from his regime. Buildings and infrastructure were destroyed and they lost land to Greece, Yugoslavia, France etc.
Mao, Lennon and many more. When power gets into their heads; they think they are Gods.
How about the killings royal family of Russia? Is that brutal? Oh I forgot they deserved because they royalty. There were innocent children killed like dogs. Is that brutal?
what was brutal in his reign? Dont know much about italian history tbh.
I got no real info on him besides he worked with hitler during the war and he had a very oppresive regime. But couldnt find anything along the lines of starvations camps i.e stalin/hitler or similar.
The most brutal thing is perhaps his sicilian appointed man to handle the mafia "Cesare Mori" who kidnapped women and children to force the mafia to buckle under the new facist rule.
Or after he lost the power and was "rescued" to germany and sent back to italy by hitler as a puppet ruler, then executions began on hitlers orders.
"Hitler's best friend": There's a feather in your cap.
He was used by Hitler there was no friendship.
I agree that “best friend “ didn’t sound right at all. 🧐 I mean I was thinking to myself if hitler was watching that he probably chuckle to himself.
@@DK-zy5fm But he loved Fascism
@Kara Fangmeier Hitler served in WW1 and was injured.He had a iron cross.I bet you haven’t even served in the front line before so don’t be using the word “coward”.
Also Mussolini is said to be in heaven after he converted to Jesus Christ ✝️.
@Kara Fangmeier Non but you can’t be calling Adolf Hitler a coward since the man was locked up for protesting and was injured in the trenches.WW1 was probably the worst war to be in because of the trenches and gas grenade.Thanks for your service though.
You say that Mussolini's death "was one of the most brutal events of WW2." That seems to me to be pure hyperbole. He was shot and died immediately. The perpetrators of the assassination of Hitler, for example, were tortured to death. Children and adults were experimented on until they were useless and then murdered. The list of more brutal deaths than Mussolini's would number in the millions.
What 'assassination of Hitler'? He killed himself, and Eva Braun!

Not necessarily. Those whom engage in debauchery usually look more alive, have unbounded energy and usually have the money to do what they like. They eat well, drink heaps and are usually bigger in size.
Nope. Probably high as a kite on cocaine.
Mussolini was famous for his madman stare. Fascists called it "fire stare".
My maternal grandfather saw Mussolini and his mistress hang from the roof of the Esso gas station
seems to be a lot of disagreement over the locations. had always heard it was some bridge
@@jonnieluscombe5360 You're right. But Il Duce and his mistress were hung (upside down, as you obviously know) from the Esso gas station in Milan.
The partisans tried to control the crowd; they wanted a trial. But there were too many people. Too many to control.
My father was an American OSS officer in WW II, serving in Italy. Among his military memorabilia are two photos of Mussolini.
One was evidently taken immediately after Mussolini and his mistress Clara Petacci had been shot dead by Communist partisan. In it, Mussolini lies an his back, otherwise apparently untouched. Someone has place a scepter or some other staff-like implement in his dead hand; particularly ironic.
The other was taken in Milan after Mussolin’s body had been kicked, spat, and urinated upon by the mob. The photo is of Mussolini, what’s left of him, in a pine box. His head is unrecognizable as the former Fascist dictator; after his corpse’s treatment by the mob it resembles a semi-squashed pumpkin. Three armed Italian partisans, one carrying a submachine gun and wearing an Italian “Alpini” style felt hat with a red star (I assume it to be red, since the partisans were largely Communists and these are black and white photos) regard his dead and mutilated body with satisfaction.
So much for the fanatical dictator who took his country into war.
There is little doubt if he’d lived to be tried by the Allies he would have been convicted of crimes against humanity and executed anyway.
Please try to ensure that those are maintained for history. Mussolini had my great grandparents and some family murdered by the black shirt squadristi for refusing to support, and speaking against him. Take a look online (Google Mussolini's Tomb) and see the shrine they allowed his family to erect. It's disgusting. Please make sure your Dad's pictures "live". My family honors it heritage, as Piemontesi. NOT Italian. My father also served as an Officer in the Army WW2. Regards

Mmm... both photos you described are famous photos of his dead body that _everybody_ has seen... but what's weird is you say the photo of him holding the septor was taken right after his death when it wasnt... it was taken when they had already brought him to the town square and threw him in the pile of other dead bodies, which you can clearly see in the background.
@Barone di Piemonte The photos are _already_ maintained in history... they are public photos that anyone who has looked up his death have seen.
Honestly don't see how this could be described as one of the most brutal events of ww2. Ultimately he was just shot dead and his death was quick. What was done to his body afterwards was not as bad as what some suffered to their bodies whilst still alive.
There isn’t one second of footage of his actual execution. Damn.

The title is misleading, Mussolini's execution was not brutal (he was shot several times), but how his dead corps was handled could be described as brutal. Big difference. It seems they didn't get the most pain/suffering out of him before his execution....they should have consulted the Yugoslav partizans, they were much more "imaginative".
I'm sure they would have been more than happy to make 'recommendations' for the treatment of the man who influenced and sheltered the Ustase movement before it got into power
Are you aware you end every sentence on the same note? Professional training teaches students to avoid this.
Extremely annoying.
Still better than those robot voices that mispronounce or mis read words.
So glad you pointed this out - so irritating.
That was a "normal" execution by a firing squad.
A brutal execution were suffering the men from the restistance around Staufenberg.
Those poor men were tortured and hung using piano wire from meat hooks. At least there's a memorial to Von Stauffenberg and the others
The brutality of man can never be overstated.
It’s said that humans are only as noble as their living conditions. Put “good people” in a terrible situation and see the things they would do to survive
I say the brutality of man can be overstated. You can only kill a man once and what happens after that is...... Everything deemed brutal by man has already been done and there is nothing he can do, at this point, that might be regarded as reprehensible or brutal.
We’re a sick bunch collectively that’s for sure

Never liked the look of this man. He has cruel eyes.
Back in the eighties I was told by a lady who said she was related to certain mobsters. That it was the Sicilian mobsters that actually killed Mussolini and her great grandfather was part of it . So she said.
Wow....!! Very interesting...I know that Mussolini came down very hard on the Sicilians...its hardly surprising they did the same...

Why is it called "brutal" to execute a tyrant who killed women and children?
Re, ...a tyrant who killed women and children. You forgot Churchill and his Air force that used to kill women and children with bombs at night. Remember Dresden ??
@@gordon295 Was I on here defending Churchill? Learn to read before typing.
He got what he deserved, and to say it was " one of the most brutal events of the World War two. " shows that you don't understand just how brutal the Germans were especially to the Cillian population of USSR . A firing squad is quick and relatively painless. Especially when compared to what people endured in the camps. Being locked in side a church or barn while the German army set the building on fire is brutal. What happened to him after he was dead did not Matter since he was dead and felt no pain or shame. They should have done that first and drawn and quartered the fascist.
That worked both ways when the Russians took Germany. And don’t forget it was the allies that bombed water & food supply lines to concentration camps, knowing who was in them.
The purposeful starvation of millions of Indians by rerouting food supplies.
No one has clean hands in war.
relatively painless lmfao. Have you ever been shot? I haven't but I can absolutely tell it would hurt like fuck...
I understand what you mean, and you’re right, but I’m not sure we care about what happens to our bodies after death as those from that era did? It definitely put the wind up Adolf, that’s for sure.
The Japanese easily take the cake for the most brutal and sadistic events in ww2, Nanking, unit 731 and the death marches
"Brutality" was a specialty of Hitler and Mussolini.

I am against death penalty, but in Mussolini’s case it was warranted. He was a brutal delusional dictator and brought Italy pain and incredible suffering. The desecration of the bodies however was unnecessary and horrific.
Yeah you are right just like Churchill who killed 4 million indians
Mussolini’s execution was not particularly brutal. He was put up against a wall and shot by firing squad. It was actually RELATIVELY humane.
The aftermath was brutal. Shame he wasn’t around to see it.

In 2002, I spent about two hours in Yad Vashem, a Holocaust Memorial in Israel.

@@rickj.9202 My parents visited Yad Vashem and they were very moved by it, they couldn't talk much about it, especially when they saw the trees commemorating the gentiles who hid Jews in WW2 and thereby risked their lives.

@@janetturner7489 There is a walkway around the trees. It’s called “The Avenue of the Righteous Among the Gentiles” (although “Nations” has replaced “Gentiles,” I prefer the old way).
The person who walks out of the memorial will be a different person than the person who walked in.
But italy has yet to put up even a plaque honoring Italian Citizens who were victims of Mussolini. A few years ago "Italy" made a piss poor gesture to the Jewish Italians who were eliminated. The great grandson of the last king made a speech. Mussolini had my Catholic Great Grandparents & some family murdered for speaking against him/refusing to support him. The govt returned Mussolini's remains to the family who erected a Ceasar like tomb and shrine to him ... despite the so called anti fascism laws. Pics on Wikipedia. We honor our heritage as Piemontesi. Not Italian
The beach landing on D-Day - that was brutal.
Almost Any landing in the Pacific - that was brutal.
Mussolini shot - about as clinical as it gets.
My grandfather was there for this. The photographs he took where so very interesting for me as a child.
My father married a young Italian woman later in his life, he passed a few years ago, and she returned to Italy, she tells me all the time the people in Italy now LOVE and wish for the days of ole Benito , Looking at the world through rose colored glasses if you ask me , Dude was bad news, good riddance
And I refuse to identify my heritage as "italian", rather as Piemontesi of the former Kingdom of Piedmont Sardinia. The italian govt allowed the Mussolini family to erect a tomb and shrine to him, where neo fascists go to worship. Bastard ordered the murder of my great grandparents... I'll never go to italy. They even elected his great granddaughter to parliament. Go figure
The greater majority of today's Italian population weren't even alive during that period. This is just an idea promoted by an extreme right wing faction. I don't believe it is the wish of the wider Italian electorate.

People were starving in Italy, and the Italian troops were treated as cannon fodder. My dad served under Patton, and when the Italian troops saw the American's, they just held up their hands and said, " Niente, Niente" They'd been given little wooden guns, with wooden bullets. Dad told them to just go home. They Liberated Rome, pretty quick, once they got thru with Anzio Beach. Which you never hear the truth about that in history books.
Mussolini was "Il Duce" not pronounced il doosay but pronounced il doochay. Ce or ci in Italian is pronounced as ch (Cinzano = Chintsano).
An ill douchebag more like.
Who said “doosay”?
Ciao = Chow another good example.
I'm 70 and when I was about 10 there was a joke going around town that went"Who put the 7 bullets in Mussolini's body? 10,000 Italian sharpshooters." Most of our fathers were in WW2 or Korea.
I had always heard that the four bullets in el duces heart were from one hundred and three Italian sharp shooters.

His death was bliss Compared to how millions of other people died in WW2
Yeah true... Hello Wendy 👋, how are you.
When *H* received news of Benito's execution he cried like a widow afraid of ending up in the same fate and this led to his paranoia. He even began to doubt the cyanide pills given to him by Himler so he ordered the pill to be given to his German Shepard dog "it died before it hit the floor" and when *H* saw this he cried even more.
All in all everyone is afraid of dying.
Interesting.
Hitler probably had drug paranoia, too
I highly doubt that.Hitler was a war veteran and had been locked up in jail before.He was more insecure about his body being messed around with
Your preparation and research is fantastic, but we’re all dying a slow death by lack of intonation! 😆
Mussolini was not a friend of Hitler, in fact Hitler was full of contempt for him.
I hardly think that Mussolini's execution was "one of the most brutal" things of the SWW. It is probably not even in the top ten. I would even question that it was brutal. It was a quick death, better than he deserved, and it is irrelevant whether they used one or fifty bullets to carry out the execution.
What happened to the bodies was quite understandable considering how he had treated his own people. Had I, for example, lost a loved one due to the decisions of Mussolini, I would have had no compunction about showing my disgust by defiling the body of a monster.
I doubt that few, other than diehard fascists, would have shed tears over this "brutality".
Where did you get thatBS?!. It was the REVERSE...Hitler idolized Mussolini and stated was his mentor, Mussolini never cared or trusted Hitler and for GOOD REASON. The backstabber drew Mussolini into WW breaking the Pact of Steel.
@@spaniardsrmoors6817 plus he sent Otto Skorzeny and Nazi Commandos to rescue Mussolini from Campo Imperatore Hotel, a ski resort at Campo Imperatore in Italy’s Gran Sasso massif, high in the Apennine Mountains. This was a daring raid as he was guarded by 200 italian guards and they landed by glider. Hitler called Skorzeny to Berlin to personally give him the mission.
“I have a mission of the highest importance for you. . . . Mussolini must be rescued, and speedily. . . .”
I'd much prefer if he went down the route of emperor Crassus. Those Parthians made sure he suffered for his hubris. Old Benito got off easy, the son of a bitch .
Even the fascists didn't care about Mussolini at this point. The Fascist Party kicked him out after all.
He should've taken a leaf out of Franco's book, and not sided with Hitler. It would've ended very different for him.
If they had stayed neutral like Spain and NOT allowed any allied troops trough Italy, it would have been great for Germany. That f*ck up Musso was more of a hinderance than good anyway.

Favourite story of my grand parents, seeing Mussolini hang upside down and the people spitting on him
Like some of the Vatican Saint-Martyrs. Roman cruelty.
At least gladiators just faced animals .
The narrator’s voice will ensure I won’t listen to this channel again…just awful!
I mean.. he asked to be shot in the heart, and he was (3+ times on-top of that depending on the records) which means he died quickly. What happened to his lifeless body afterwards by the mob was brutal though, there's pictures of his deflated and deformed head which means they literally stomped so much his skull got crushed and his brain turned to mush. BUT that's not the execution, the execution was actually very mild for a dictator like him.. he probably died the same milliseconds the bullets hit his body.
I remember I was watching a video one day and wasn't paying attention to what the next one was, so when I looked up, it was actual footage of their execution and public display.
Someone took his own life together with his mistress and pet dog, because of this. He was fearful of the same fate that would also befall on him.
Brutal, come on, nothing was enough for this animals.

'...spat at, urinated on, shot at, kicked and even threw vegetables...'

No. Not a good work this is fascistophilia.
I went on a cruise and the guide said there was some ambiguity about his death. Maybe soe or checkists ordered it. If he had survived then I take it he would have been tried at Nuremberg and executed. She said he knew to much about the british in 1940 and the papers were lost in lake como. However I disagree. If he had stayed neutral like franco he would have died in his bed. A case of a dictator thinking himself and his armed forces more powerful than they really were all added to the disaster for Italy and its people in WW2.
Franco was a flip-flopping COWARD
You forgot the part where they strung his body up by the heels.
Oh, how could they miss out on that? It's one of the most iconic photos of the end of a modern-day dictator
Hers too.
They left out a lot more than that. Mussolini and his mistress were captured by communist partisans with no foreskins. Who gang-raped Mussolini's mistress all night long and tortured and sexually violated Mussolini himself, in the morning the Communist partisans who had no foreskins by the way, murdered Mussolini and his Mistress, Autopsies were ordered on the bodies of Mussolini and his mistress but when it was obvious both had been tortured and raped the results were suppressed because good guys would not behave that way. BTW the good guys did not win that war. The international Banksters with no foreskins who loaned the money to every party to fight that war are the ones who won it, they win every war, 75 years later the survivors of the 80 million plus holocaust are still paying interest on those debts to the parasites who feed of us but you must not criticise them in any way..
@kalorifer The degenerated who rape him probably didn't stop after he was dead.
@kalorifer Mussolini is still loved even today in parts of Italy. It was Communist partisans with no foreskins who did this.

1:20 Errm no. It was the Germans that had to help the Italians in North Africa, not the other way round. Libya was under Italian control. Because Mussolini thought the British would be defeated soon, he decided that he'd like to add Egypt to his empire.

My grandfather was a partisan capo from Pavia, Lombardia. There was a steady lookout for Mussolini, everyone wanting to be the one to kill him.
Nobody really agreed as to WHY the mistress was killed, too. Seemed a total shame to his group of Social Democrats, & they considered the Italian Communists as "evil" for it.

When my Nonna was a child she was chosen to present him with a bouquet of flowers
I’m with most of the posters on here in that his execution was far from brutal. Given his rule, certainly after 1941, there can be few who could argue that he didn’t deserve to be shot. I’m not sure that the number of bullets is relevant. If it was me against the wall, the more the better as I would not want to suffer, and that option was not available to many of the victims of his rule.
What was done post mortem to the bodies is hardly brutal. They were dead. They didn’t feel a thing.
To give Musso his due, for the early part of his reign he was generally well thought of. Some of the architecture that he supported is well worth visiting. He was the only one, out of him, Hitler and Franco, who ruled as a fascist, even if only for a time. The other two were out and out tyrants from the start.
Once the war started proper, and the Italians suffered defeat after defeat, Mussolini changed his methods and became utterly brutal, turning into a carbon copy of Hitler, with deportations and such. Criminal behaviour of the worst kind. For this alone he should have been shot. His end was easy compared to so many others he caused. I’m all for prison reform, and softening of punishments, at least in the rate of the UK, but, to be crude, Mussolini had it coming. What happened to his body didn’t bother him in the least. Not that much different to being buried in the earth and be fodder for worms.
He had the support of a substantial proportion of the population in his early days, some suggest the majority of Italians were with him, but once the tide turned, they abandoned him and the communists started to come forward.
The word brutal, especially in caps, should be removed. Or it should be changed to the execution of the BRUTAL Mussolini.
You lost a lot of credibility when you claim his execution was one of the most brutal events of WWII. Really, my guy? Really?
Not the Rape of Nanjing, not the horrific Holocaust, not Stalingrad, Okinawa, etc.

The declaration of War Mussolini declared it from the balcony in words, but the real formal act was made by King Vittorio Emanuele III. Only he could do it. He had all the faculties to decide, without any approval either from Mussolini or from his government. As it must be borne in mind that in foreign policy, the Crown enjoyed a wide autonomy, allowed by article 5 of the Albertine Statute, still inspired by absolutist principles.
(Art. 5. - Only the executive power belongs to the King. He is the Supreme Head of the State: he commands all the forces of land, sea and sky; he declares war; he makes peace treaties, alliance treaties...)
These principles the King in fact used them precisely in 1940 (he was saying among his lick generals: "he who is absent is always wrong") and used them to "enter" the war "alongside" Germany, and (we remember but it is known) he used then the same art. 5, to "get out" on 25 July 1943, dismissing and arresting Mussolini and dissolving the fascist party.
Shot in the heart ? Let’s think about the Jews and POWs that were beaten and gassed. Now that was brutal.
I'm not sure I would describe Hitler and Mussolini relationship as quotes 'best friends.' I would describe the relationship more as one aiming to get authority over the other. In the end, neither achieved that.
He does not hardly look 60 years old in even the later clips. Guy aged pretty well.
