Mussolini Hanged

I have seen a famous picture of this scene. This picture appears to be taken from a slightly different angle.

      Understand, Bernard. In times of war, the clearest heads do not always prevail.

      This picture was just one that a friend shared with me from the collection belonging to a veteran (an uncle of a friend of hers) and I did not include it here as being disrespectful of Italy or the Italian people. I thought it was interesting that the famous picture of this scene was almost the same as the one this man had in his possession. Maybe he was even there, but we don't know how he got the picture.

      Thank you for your comment, and I appreciate the hospitality that my father enjoyed in your country. He never talked about the war very much until near his death, but he would smile when he mentioned Italy. He said it was much better there than when he was in North Africa. He was glad his time in Italy was longer! He had good memories of the places and the people.
