Good morning, Lynell. Just an “interesting” aside. My mother’s cousin was married to an Italian gentleman (Bruno) who was one of Mussolini’s body guards during the war, and I had a conversation with him about a year before his death. He claimed that M was responsible for saving thousands of Italian’s lives by aligning with Hitler, and that saving these lives was his only reason for doing so. He still believed that M was a great man, a patriot. For his part, Bruno was imprisoned and sentenced to death. He managed to escape to South America, where he met my mom’s cousin who was serving as a missionary there.
"He claimed that M was responsible for saving thousands of Italian’s lives by aligning with Hitler, and that saving these lives was his only reason for doing so. "
I can tell you for the thousands of Jews sent to their deaths when M allied w/ Hitler that they might disagree with Italians being saved. Talk to the survivors of devastated Italian cities and towns that the Nazis used in their war of attrition against the Allied forces. M was under no more pressure than Franco of Spain to actively ally with the Nazis - even after the Nazis gave military aircraft and personnel to help Franco in the "civil war".
M really is the closest historical figure I can think of as the same malignant
narcissist as Trump. Trump wouldn't have given a hunter's damn if thousands of his minions were killed on 1/6/21. For all these insane people, losing ones life for them is to be expected as a natural course of events.
Lynell, I don’t know the specifics of his arrest and sentence, I never thought to ask. I did get the impression from things Bruno said that many of the men close to M suffered the same fate.

I completely agree with everything you say here. I was merely relaying what I had been told by a M loyalist.
Morning, Cathy. I guess it all boils down to "who you gonna believe?" So who was it who sentenced Bruno to death?
