source: wikipedia: Benito Amilcare Andrea Mussolini (July 29, 1883 – April 28, 1945) was the prime minister of Italy from 1922 until 1943, when he was overthrown. He established himself as the dictator of a Fascist regime that valued nationalism, corporatism, militarism, and anti-communism combined with strict censorship and state propaganda. Mussolini became a close ally of German dictator Adolf Hitler, whom he influenced.
On 10 June 1940, Mussolini entered World War II on the side of Nazi Germany. Three years later, after a near unbroken series of Italian disasters, he was ousted by members of his own government. By then, the Allies had invaded and occupied parts of southern Italy.
In late April 1945, Mussolini attempted to escape to Switzerland, only to be captured and assassinated near Lake Como by Communist Italian partisans. His body was taken to Milan where it was hung upside down at a petrol station for public viewing and confirmation of his demise.
