      For the people downvoting you.

      On a regular basis, when Italian partisans killed Germans or blew up bridges, Mussolini ordered 10 or so from their village killed. Pregnant women, children, didn’t matter.

      After an attack on an empty german car (no german casualties), 15 partisans were executed on a square, their corpses left to rot for the rest of the day under the sun. That is the square they transported Mussolinis corpse to, together with the corpses of his lover and fifteen other fascists.

      The square is now known the fifteen martyrs square after the dead partisans. Although many in Italy now probably call it so for the dead fascists.

      Person who ordered the killing later worked for the CIA and the german version of the FBI.

        My mother’s village of 800 people, they hung partisans from each corner of the town square. Regularly. It was stressful and fucked up for a little kid, and my grandfather was a partisan.

        I imagine people are downvoting due to the non-spoilered gore pic thrust onto our screens with no warning, rather than the text content.

            Violence is periodically required to maintain it, yes, but if the effort is to succeed there are always many types of people involved, including some who have no stomach for violence. Insisting that everyone partake in violence, or using it to sadistically goad comrade non-combatants, is a common form of hazing that should never be tolerated.

      Oh this must’ve been before they strung his carcass up upside down

      You know it’s in a fancy mausoleum these days? Under guard?

      It would be justice if that cursed shit hole were leveled to the fucking ground and then the soil burned and poisoned.
