I spent a lot of time in Italy since 2015, and I went to the site off of Lake Cuomo where they executed him and his lover Clara Petacci. My fiance at the time who lived in Milano took care of an 95 year old woman. She told us she remembered the day they brought his body to Milano and strung him upside down at a gas station, she said the crowd was big and all fired up. It was interesting talking to a woman that was actually there on that day in April 1945, I know this video was about Mussolini's son but this came to mind so I thought I'd share.
Yes, they hung them then cut off their arms and legs. After they sewed them back together the rehung them. I saw old photographs which showed these old Italian women actually sewing them back together.
Kinda hoping the Russian do the same thing to Putin rt now? I’m sure Russian citizens are wanting to stop this horrible War on innocent civilians. How is the Russian Military going to return home to there families knowing that they are monsters killing innocent women, children, and elderly civilians?
my grandpa used to tell me about how him and his friends would play in the foxholes that were left from the war and go rummaging through the rubble to find cool stuff like artillery and explosives, and he and his friends would make bows and arrows out of sticks and coathangers and reenact mussolini's fall. He was born in 48, he passed september of last year. Miss you nonno, you were the best
Your story literally makes no sense. If he was born in 48 the foxholes would have been gone by the time he was, let’s say 10. Then bows and arrows? Why? Lastly, they would have blown themselves up rummaging for live ordnance. You were had by your grandpa, kid.
@@Frankie5Angels150 the foxholes of the battle of the bulge are still here in the Ardennes. People metal detect them all the time and still find live ammunition. So his story could be true.
I can confirm this guy’s story. In the 60s/70s there were still a lot of foxholes. Live explosives were still found in those years especially in the woods in the north.
If I learned anything from this, is that the arrest and capture of the dictator, Mussolini... well, it couldn't have happened to a nicer person. If anyone is capable of killing their own child, imagine what they would do to anyone else who stood in their way?
there's also the story of mussolini driving an expensive car thru a town in the countryside, driving at an excessive speed he hit a little girl and killed her, he never stopped and threatened his passenger cornelius vanderbilt IV to say nothing. he would later tell the story.
Theres no justification for those disgusting scenes,whatever the circumstance..I mean,what crimes had Clara committed exactly? Sodomized,gangraped,tortured yet people think it was understandable,even acceptable because of who they were,and were on the enemys side...the same rhetoric and dehumanisation is happening now towards all Russian people-and we're the good guys,fighting "evil" and protecting "western values"....
So, he accepted money, used, denied & abused this woman and her/his son, ultimately torturing & killing them, all to protect his "image". It doesn't get much lower than that. Why do I not feel the least bit sorry for him. God has a special place all picked out, I'm sure, for ol' Il Duce.

At least Stalin didn't kill his own son. Mussolini literally ordered his sons execution like he was nothing, he also never was there for his son or took care of him and this video shows he never even saw him he never meet him. As ruthless as Stalin was at least he let his sons live with him and took family photos to portray himself as a loving father. He was also reportedly very upset at hjs sons death in the German camp. Mussolini on the other hand managed to be more horrible in this situation.

I lived in Bologna for almost 20 years. Happiest years of my life. My friends told me many stories of their parents and grandparents during the war years. I saw the photos of the martyrs and the bullet holes in the buildings in the town centre and stories like Marzabotto still haunt me.
My great uncle was there (British Army) and said a woman fired shots into Mussolini's corpse, one for each of her dead sons and husband. Apparently, when they cut him down, his head was so swollen from all the blows etc, it would hardly fit in the wooden coffin ...
@@plotarmour1471 Mussolini and his mistress/wife were hung upside down after being killed, the woman with her skirt tied around the legs to avoid partial nudity. Put on display in Milan, the pictures can easily be found on the web. So that'd be the case, and thus indeed, when the rope was cut, that'd have been why his head went down first. Cheers.
@@plotarmour1471 Oh, that detail, well good point, I don't know how that particular part went, but I'd assume that if the bodies were allowed to be hit or shot while hung, then the folks there definitely didn't hold any sympathy for those two people, not even when already deceased.
My wife and I have been reading lately, some of the Italian history. My wife’s grandparents immigrated from Italy in 1905. Because of the government, no work, scarce food. In US they eventually made it well off as farmers.
I met an old guy who was from Sicily. He joined the Waffen SS when he was 22 years old, and served on the Eastern front. He said that he would rather serve under the Germans because at least they had a plan. He didn't like Il Duce at all. Vincenzo Migliore, "Uncle Vince", who had a lot of stories to tell.
After I read that, I wasn't sure which was correct. Although I was still at least somewhat confident that it was "mouth." But it's been a long time. So I searched it. He said "mouth," actually, in a news conference before a Holyfield fight. However - multiple journalists, later, mentioning the quote in public conversations with him, said "face," and he was too polite, or just didn't care enough, to correct them. You probably heard one of those.
In the past, before divorce, a mental institution was a place husbands would commit their wives when the men wanted to get rid of their wives and get a new one. Illegitimate daughters of the nobility would be sent to a convent, as well as inconvenient wives, sometimes, or worse.
Thank you, Untold Past, for this latest video on WW2. I never knew that Mussolini Sr. would have his own son killed for some reason. So shameful on his part, and tragic as well.
She should have kept her mouth shut and disappeared by escaping with her son. She could have sought asylum and later reveal from a safe place who they were.
Italy had a "defensive" alliance with Germany and Austria-Hungary. Was neutral in 1914 and entered the war on the allied side in 1915 with promises of new territories.
Doc Holliday • I also have heard the German elitists had secret conversations behind what was going on at the time. It's was all a power game using innocent people's lives. Always has. Wars are created on purpose. To alienate man away from God. Forcing them to kill other men. To build up and create a sinfull legacy against them - if You will. So they cannot. Or won't be able to have the opportunity to be saved by the Gospel of JesusChrist.
Doc Holliday • Am sorry i didn't finish that first sentence. The German elitists had secret conversations with the English elitists during WW||. In other words the money barons on both sides - i suspect .
This evokes all kinds of powerful sentiments that a hardened studier of this period considered himself immune to. I endorse completely your statement that this story needs to be told, but challenge your use of the word "execution". Execution right or wrong refers to a legal process and its culmination. There does not seem to be anything here that is legally enforced. The word also gives legitimacy to the act. I have heard various apologists for this apology of a man - that he drained the Pontine Marshes, that he initially actively opposed Hitler's anti-semitic legislation before acquiescing to Nazi pressure to bring in some of his own, that he had begun by supporting the allies and had prevented Hitler's annexation of Austria in 1934, that he destroyed the Mafia in Sicily and thwarted organised crime in the peninsular, that he made the trains run on time and that he was misunderstood. Often apologists for autocrats can salvage some small scrapings of decency out of their personal lives, but with Mussolini there is none. He sunk below the level of a Stepford husband.
I recall a news story from about the mid 1970's which identified a frenchman who was the illegitimate son of Adolph Hitler. Apparently Hitler had a relationship with a French woman during WW1 and the son was the product of it. He even looked a bit like Hitler, as I recall. But I've seen few stories about it since then. Has anyone else seen documentation on this?
Yes I recall the article I cut it out and have it in a scrapbook at another residence. Will have to look it up the next time I am there.I recall the kid was mentally challenged but I could be wrong .
Love this site. Great historical accounts. Did not know about his first wife and son, but this is just further proof of what a monster this fascist dictator was.
Mussolini and Hitler weren’t close friends. In fact he’s quoted as saying something similar to “anyone who has spent considerable time around Adolf Hitler will have grown tired of his ego and personality.”
Power and wealth, helped by corruption is all these dictators then and now crave, and if murder helps their evil cause, so be it. Dark times then, dark times now! God bless the innocent victims.
Power and Greed will corrupt quicker than anything one can ever imagine. So many down throughout history have been corrupted by money and power and in doing so they lost all of their humanity to the point that death of others meant nothing to them at all. You can go into a situation with the best of intentions and when money and power is offered up more often than not you soon become a shell of your former self.
@@TheLeadSled: My father said he saw this same attitude working for people in the entertainment industry when he was growing up in Los Angeles and later when he became a lawyer. His parents were poor so he got a job as an extra in some movies and he said the big shots treated everyone like trash.
You have presented a lot of information, so thank you for that . I'm just wondering why you always lower the tone of the last syllable of every sentence. Makes it sound a bit artificial.
Even today many Italians regret Mussolini and say that he did well until 1938; his tomb in Predappio is much visited. Perhaps because Italian democracy since 1945 has always sucked
My father served in the Italian navy during the second ww and was a great admirer of Mussolini because Mussolini destroyed the mafia in Sicily and restored order in Italy during the time of his reign. I don’t think my dad would have accepted him anymore had he known the facts about the murder of his son and arrest of his wife.
Yes, just showed this to my mum who said Mussolini saved them from starvation. Her father was a member of the black shirts and prisoner of war in Germany. My mother is shocked to learn that he was so heartless and cruel towards Ida and his son.
Something incorrect at 7:00. Italy was on the same side as France during WW1, so Mussolini could not be accused of being a traitor by conspiring with the enemy - because France was not the enemy.
I believe Italy was originally in the 'Triple Alliance', which included Germany and Austria-Hungary. The Triple Entente was Russia, France, and Britain. So at the start of the war, France was not aligned with Italy. Italy decided not to enter the war in 1914 with Germany, Austria-Hungary, which also included Bulgaria and Turkey{Gallipoli landings}. Italy decided to enter the war in 1915, but on the side of France, Britain and Russia.
@@makaha5750 I forgot about the soon to become defunct 'Triple Alliance'. It appears that the writer of the video commentary forgot about it too, because he failed to even mention it, even though it is relevant.
This is horrific! I wonder if he was still working for the British MI5 when married to this woman? The British had Mussolini on a very lucrative payroll to write articles prior to his march on Rome.
There are people around us every day that are capable of sadistic brutality, given the opportunity, but we don't know who they are. This monsters' son is no doubt in Heaven with our Lord.
Yeah I thought that was interesting The very same guy who had a hand in creating world conflict was a draft dodger He probably even grew his hair long and made signs 🪧 to protest the war lol

Interesting story. I've read a lot of history about WWII but never heard this one before. Mussolini was a nasty individual for sure. The boy in the picture looks just like him.
@@johnschiznoli7168 He looks like he was a fine young man. I guess both he and his mother were terminated in mental hospitals. The Nazi's had a very active euthanasia program for the defective. If she was in Munich she was toast. Hitler was also said to have a son born in France to a French farm girl from a liason he had around 1915-1916. That son reportedly fought in the French Resistance.
@@imyourdaddy5822 He wouldn't have. Considering the fact he was greatly upset at his sons death saying " life had been unfair to him " and that he was a real man for being in a German camp and not giving any valuable information to the enemy. I think he did love his son but just wasn't very open with how he showed that love. If he survived the war Stalin would've been very glad and probably have treated him better.
During these years of terrible atrocities, I believe the world had gone insane. But it will never end as long as people see each other as their enemies.
"It’s unknown how they first met, but when they first started their relationship, Dalser *gave Mussolini money* and financial help for him to fund his newspaper and political activity. She worked in her salon, but *gave Mussolini money*. It’s said that Dalser even may have pawned her jewellery to *give Mussolini money* that he needed to start his new enterprise, and she even fell so hard for him she sold her beauty salon so he could continue the newspaper." She didn't sell her salon so she could Mussolini money, by any chance? 🤔
@@TheUntoldPast No concrete proof that he had anything to do with his son's death. All just a lot of assumptions and really not much more. This video gets a thumbs DOWN
I would agree with you, tyrants like Mussolini, Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, Tojo, Himmler, Heydrich, Goering, Goebbels and many others tasted what God Almighty calls the second death, and believe you me it is something none of us ever want to feel in anyway shape or form.
@@TheUntoldPast If there was a benevolent, omnipotent god, tyrants like Hitler, Stalin, Mussolini, PolPot, etc., would not in fact exist. Your theory is shot down right there.

He got too Italy Japan France Netherlands basically he backed tracked WWII. He told me horror stories that he seen while in Italy bodies still laying on the grounds around bombed out cities and then told me the stories were listening too . My father took many many pictures he has pictures of him kneeling in the bomb craters from the H Bombs in Japan It was a seriously sad story of the political stance even 5 years after the end of WWII .

And I see your a troll after looking at your account. At least be a educated troll …. Like begin by googling how many people lost their lives during WWII not just soldiers but civilians and then tell me they can clean that up in 5 years lol 😂. Google my troll friend google . See the hero’s work on these bodies to get them properly buried in their home soil .
Mussolini is still revered and looked up to by many in Italy still to this day. He like Hitler had transformed their countries from poverty to prosperity. There are many statues and busts of Mussilini across Italy in remembrance of him.
This must be the worst ever documentary. The pictures bear no correlation with the mind numbing monotone commentary. Between 4'20 and 4'35 you state 3 times that M's first wife gave him money!
The footage should at least bear a passing resemblance to the dialogue. Almost everything in the footage is from 1936 on. While the dialogue speaks endlessly about pre 1915 situations with very very little footage from the time.
When you think of how musolini and his sons used mustard gas on Ethiopians and the unbelievable level of violence they did to Jews and communists in Italy at the time, when you dish out that level of brutality expect the same in return

My great uncle was there (British Army) and said a woman fired shots into Mussolini's corpse, one for each of her dead sons and husband. Apparently, when they cut him down, his head was so swollen from all the blows etc, it would hardly fit in the wooden coffin ...
Wait,when they cut the rope mussolini fall down with the head?
Blood rushed to his head from being hung upside down, the blows didn't help..
@@plotarmour1471 Mussolini and his mistress/wife were hung upside down after being killed, the woman with her skirt tied around the legs to avoid partial nudity. Put on display in Milan, the pictures can easily be found on the web. So that'd be the case, and thus indeed, when the rope was cut, that'd have been why his head went down first. Cheers.
@@hansvonmannschaft9062 i mean they didnt let him fall down slowly? They just cut it and BOOM?
@@plotarmour1471 Oh, that detail, well good point, I don't know how that particular part went, but I'd assume that if the bodies were allowed to be hit or shot while hung, then the folks there definitely didn't hold any sympathy for those two people, not even when already deceased.
My wife and I have been reading lately, some of the Italian history. My wife’s grandparents immigrated from Italy in 1905. Because of the government, no work, scarce food.
In US they eventually made it well off as farmers.
Thanks for posting this, never heard of this before, am still amazed at the stories still coming out of the WW2 era!
I met an old guy who was from Sicily. He joined the Waffen SS when he was 22 years old, and served on the Eastern front. He said that he would rather serve under the Germans because at least they had a plan. He didn't like Il Duce at all. Vincenzo Migliore, "Uncle Vince", who had a lot of stories to tell.
Yes the Waffen SS were really swell guys now weren't they? We know what their plan was, an idiot to even make such a statement.
"... at least they had a plan." Humorous. "Everybody has a plan, until they get hit in the mouth." Mike Tyson.
@@beavercleaver7848 face*
After I read that, I wasn't sure which was correct. Although I was still at least somewhat confident that it was "mouth." But it's been a long time. So I searched it. He said "mouth," actually, in a news conference before a Holyfield fight. However - multiple journalists, later, mentioning the quote in public conversations with him, said "face," and he was too polite, or just didn't care enough, to correct them. You probably heard one of those.
Where are this stories come from, ? Invented or exaggerated , by mouths not recorded history.
Well that's just terrible. I understand more now why he was so hated. What a piece of s$$$.
SHIT!!!! 💩💩💩🤢🤮🤢🤮
In the past, before divorce, a mental institution was a place husbands would commit their wives when the men wanted to get rid of their wives and get a new one. Illegitimate daughters of the nobility would be sent to a convent, as well as inconvenient wives, sometimes, or worse.
I bet these husband's raped and forced sex on their wives.
Mussolini, Hitler, Mao, Stalin, Pol Pot; all emerging within a few years of each other. It's quite incredible and extremely sobering.
Don't forget Franco (Spanish Dictator)
Excellent report! This only furthers my distain for this man.
Thank you, Untold Past, for this latest video on WW2. I never knew that Mussolini Sr. would have his own son killed for some reason. So shameful on his part, and tragic as well.
She should have kept her mouth shut and disappeared by escaping with her son. She could have sought asylum and later reveal from a safe place who they were.
Skip all the way to about 8:00 to see detail about the son.
I can’t handle the way this dude talks. It’s so obnoxious.
France and Italy were no enemies in WW I.
Italy had a "defensive" alliance with Germany and Austria-Hungary. Was neutral in 1914 and entered the war on the allied side in 1915 with promises of new territories.
Doc Holliday • I also have heard the German elitists had secret conversations behind what was going on at the time. It's was all a power game using innocent people's lives. Always has. Wars are created on purpose. To alienate man away from God. Forcing them to kill other men. To build up and create a sinfull legacy against them - if You will. So they cannot. Or won't be able to have the opportunity to be saved by the Gospel of JesusChrist.
Doc Holliday • Am sorry i didn't finish that first sentence. The German elitists had secret conversations with the English elitists during WW||. In other words the money barons on both sides - i suspect .
This evokes all kinds of powerful sentiments that a hardened studier of this period considered himself immune to. I endorse completely your statement that this story needs to be told, but challenge your use of the word "execution". Execution right or wrong refers to a legal process and its culmination. There does not seem to be anything here that is legally enforced. The word also gives legitimacy to the act. I have heard various apologists for this apology of a man - that he drained the Pontine Marshes, that he initially actively opposed Hitler's anti-semitic legislation before acquiescing to Nazi pressure to bring in some of his own, that he had begun by supporting the allies and had prevented Hitler's annexation of Austria in 1934, that he destroyed the Mafia in Sicily and thwarted organised crime in the peninsular, that he made the trains run on time and that he was misunderstood. Often apologists for autocrats can salvage some small scrapings of decency out of their personal lives, but with Mussolini there is none. He sunk below the level of a Stepford husband.
Never heard about this. Another addition to the never-ending tales of WW2, based upon the outcome and inevitable fallout of WW1. Thanks for posting...
Never heard about it because there is NO PROOF Mussolini was involved
Love your content!

Thanks Andy.
I recall a news story from about the mid 1970's which identified a frenchman who was the illegitimate son of Adolph Hitler. Apparently Hitler had a relationship with a French woman during WW1 and the son was the product of it. He even looked a bit like Hitler, as I recall. But I've seen few stories about it since then. Has anyone else seen documentation on this?
Yes I recall the article I cut it out and have it in a scrapbook at another residence. Will have to look it up the next time I am there.I recall the kid was mentally challenged but I could be wrong .
Yes, Hitler did have an illegitimate French son. That is true.
And his son was in the French resistance, Hitler was very proud of him. I have read it in the Point a French magazine in 2010
?
So did Bill Clinton.
Love this site. Great historical accounts. Did not know about his first wife and son, but this is just further proof of what a monster this fascist dictator was.
Well his efforts to erase his son appear to have worked well as I'd never heard of him. Sure was a homely boy but a great looking young man.
Mussolini and Hitler weren’t close friends. In fact he’s quoted as saying something similar to “anyone who has spent considerable time around Adolf Hitler will have grown tired of his ego and personality.”
Power and wealth, helped by corruption is all these dictators then and now crave, and if murder helps their evil cause, so be it. Dark times then, dark times now! God bless the innocent victims.
Power and Greed will corrupt quicker than anything one can ever imagine. So many down throughout history have been corrupted by money and power and in doing so they lost all of their humanity to the point that death of others meant nothing to them at all. You can go into a situation with the best of intentions and when money and power is offered up more often than not you soon become a shell of your former self.
@@TheLeadSled: My father said he saw this same attitude working for people in the entertainment industry when he was growing up in Los Angeles and later when he became a lawyer. His parents were poor so he got a job as an extra in some movies and he said the big shots treated everyone like trash.

How disgraceful of Benito Mussolini to have his own son killed.
It's absolute nonsense
Even today many Italians regret Mussolini and say that he did well until 1938; his tomb in Predappio is much visited. Perhaps because Italian democracy since 1945 has always sucked
With Fascists like you around, democracy will always struggle.
My father served in the Italian navy during the second ww and was a great admirer of Mussolini because Mussolini destroyed the mafia in Sicily and restored order in Italy during the time of his reign. I don’t think my dad would have accepted him anymore had he known the facts about the murder of his son and arrest of his wife.
Yes, just showed this to my mum who said Mussolini saved them from starvation. Her father was a member of the black shirts and prisoner of war in Germany. My mother is shocked to learn that he was so heartless and cruel towards Ida and his son.
Something incorrect at 7:00. Italy was on the same side as France during WW1, so Mussolini could not be accused of being a traitor by conspiring with the enemy - because France was not the enemy.
I believe Italy was originally in the 'Triple Alliance', which included Germany and Austria-Hungary. The Triple Entente was Russia, France, and Britain. So at the start of the war, France was not aligned with Italy. Italy decided not to enter the war in 1914 with Germany, Austria-Hungary, which also included Bulgaria and Turkey{Gallipoli landings}. Italy decided to enter the war in 1915, but on the side of France, Britain and Russia.
@@makaha5750 I forgot about the soon to become defunct 'Triple Alliance'. It appears that the writer of the video commentary forgot about it too, because he failed to even mention it, even though it is relevant.

Benito Mussolini's youngest son, Romano, became a jazz pianist. I played with him in New York; lovely chap and a great musician.
This is horrific! I wonder if he was still working for the British MI5 when married to this woman? The British had Mussolini on a very lucrative payroll to write articles prior to his march on Rome.
There are people around us every day that are capable of sadistic brutality, given the opportunity, but we don't know who they are. This monsters' son is no doubt in Heaven with our Lord.

Never knew he was a Draft Dodger. That why I watch this stuff. Learn more every day.

just fake History...
Interesting story. I've read a lot of history about WWII but never heard this one before. Mussolini was a nasty individual for sure. The boy in the picture looks just like him.
He looks almost identical to him. It's such a disgusting thing for a father to kill his own son. What a disgraceful human being very sad indeed.
@@johnschiznoli7168
He looks like he was a fine young man. I guess both he and his mother were terminated in mental hospitals. The Nazi's had a very active euthanasia program for the defective. If she was in Munich she was toast. Hitler was also said to have a son born in France to a French farm girl from a liason he had around 1915-1916. That son reportedly fought in the French Resistance.
@@douglasturner6153 Yeah well must suck to the son of a dictator but even Stalin didn't kill his own son.
@@johnschiznoli7168 Well Stalin didn't murder his son directly, but he probably would've executed him had he survived the war.
@@imyourdaddy5822 He wouldn't have. Considering the fact he was greatly upset at his sons death saying " life had been unfair to him " and that he was a real man for being in a German camp and not giving any valuable information to the enemy. I think he did love his son but just wasn't very open with how he showed that love. If he survived the war Stalin would've been very glad and probably have treated him better.
During these years of terrible atrocities, I believe the world had gone insane. But it will never end as long as people see each other as their enemies.
For a guy who was a draft dodger he sure loved to shine in military attire. Typical!
"It’s unknown how they first met, but when they first started their relationship, Dalser

He certainly was not 'Dad of the Year.'
I would agree with you, tyrants like Mussolini, Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, Tojo, Himmler, Heydrich, Goering, Goebbels and many others tasted what God Almighty calls the second death, and believe you me it is something none of us ever want to feel in anyway shape or form.

There's a man looking at them.
All famous and or powerful men have mistress... Mussolini should told that to his family, and send them to a big estate and live quietly, not kill them.
Or he could have gotten a divorce like people are supposed to before marrying someone else. Or was it against the law in Italy back then?

He told me horror stories that he seen while in Italy bodies still laying on the grounds around bombed out cities and then told me the stories were listening too . My father took many many pictures he has pictures of him kneeling in the bomb craters from the H Bombs in Japan It was a seriously sad story of the political stance even 5 years after the end of WWII . God bless all whom are at war now and that war atrocities that were done then do not appear again on this earth in Jesus Christs name AMEN 🙏!
your father must have been trippin balls in Japan - come on: kneeling in the h-bomb craters...? He saw bodies laying around bombed cities in Italy, years after the war had ended? I think you need to meditate for a long-time and then take a deep breath and realize that your story is a fable.
It didn't take 5 years to clean up the bodies, your dad was spinning stories.

See the hero’s work on these bodies to get them properly buried in their home soil .
Mussolini is still revered and looked up to by many in Italy still to this day. He like Hitler had transformed their countries from poverty to prosperity.
There are many statues and busts of Mussilini across Italy in remembrance of him.

Interesting story.
Your narrative style is easy to listen to. That's a good thing. :?)
The footage should at least bear a passing resemblance to the dialogue. Almost everything in the footage is from 1936 on. While the dialogue speaks endlessly about pre 1915 situations with very very little footage from the time.
- There was very little footage of Napoleon's early life too.
When you think of how musolini and his sons used mustard gas on Ethiopians and the unbelievable level of violence they did to Jews and communists in Italy at the time, when you dish out that level of brutality expect the same in return
