![The Grisly Story Of Benito Mussolini’s Capture, Execution, And Defilement At The End Of World War 2 [Public Domain photo of Benito Mussolini in which he poses in uniform in 1940.]
On April 28, 1945, Benito Mussolini was executed while trying to flee to Switzerland as Allied forces approached northern Italy, and an angry mob later mutilated his corpse in a public square in Milan.
Benito Mussolini’s death on April 28, 1945, marked the end of a dark chapter in Italian history. After seizing power in 1922, the dictator ruled his country with an iron fist. Although he was deposed in 1943, Nazi Germany reinstated him as the head of its puppet government in northern Italy during World War II. However, as the Allies closed in at the end of the conflict, Mussolini wanted to avoid being tried as a war criminal, so he decided to flee to Switzerland.
His plan failed. The dictator, who had spent two decades splashing his face across Italy in his bid to become a modern Julius Caesar, was recognized by partisans. They captured and executed him alongside his mistress, Clara Petacci, and a dozen other fascists. But that was just the beginning.
The morning after Benito Mussolini’s death, partisans dumped his corpse in Milan, and an angry crowd soon converged. The mob kicked, spat at, and urinated on the body of “Il Duce” while shouting curses at the dead dictator. His mutilated corpse was then hung upside down from a gas station, a symbolic retribution for the suffering he had caused.](https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/114/406/644/750/216/475/original/11ba7aa817b3ec43.png)
