“With the US Army moving quickly up the Italian peninsula, Benito Mussolini knew it was time to get out of town. The war was almost over for the Italians. But it was not a pretty ending. The next day, the partisans shot Mussolini and his mistress… before hanging them from meathooks suspended from the roof of an Esso gas station in Milan (the same place that fascists had displayed the bodies of fifteen Milanese resistance fighters a year earlier). What was Mussolini’s crime? He had led Italy into a disastrous war. So our question for our fellow Americans is this: Are there no gas stations in the continental USA?”
