Spotlight on... Mussolini's Execution

Here are the corpses of Benito Mussolini and his mistress in a morgue in Milan, Italy.

Most textbooks (including ours) says that Mussolini was hung. Well, he was, indeed, hung.. but that's not the entire story. First, Mussolini and his fellow officers were shot by a firing squad and then hung up by their feet. They were then turned over to the crazed Italian citizens who then furiously beat the corpses until they could pretty much no longer be identified, as you can see in the gruesome picture above.
