Thats Mussolini and I believe the other is his wife or mistress. They were killed in ancient Italian style.
were they killed because of too much blood to the head? I cant really tell from the pic.

Mussolini died on a clear spring day in April 1945. Allies had moved into the northern part of Italy during the same month. Mussolini attempted to flee to Austria. Near the town of Dongo his truck convoy was ambushed by partisans. The Duce was dressed as a German soldier, in a greatcoat and steel helmet, but his expensive leather boots gave him away. The partisans took him to a farmhouse. He was then joined by his mistress, Claretta Petacci. Claretta had begged to be reunited with Mussolini.
The next day the communist partisan drove both Claretta Petacci and Benito Mussolini to a nearby villa. He ordered the both of them out of the car and stuck a machine gun in their guilty as sin faces. This gun jammed but he got another one and quickly shot at Claretta Petacci and killed her instantly. Mussolini holding back the lapels of his jacket, said “Shoot me in the chest.” The partisan shot him twice in the chest and Mussolini was dead.
The morning after Mussolini and his mistress were slain, the partisans dumped their bodies in front of a garage in Milan’s Puzzle Laureate. A crowd gathered around; some people shouted foul language, others just stood there and laughed. One woman fired a pistol at Mussolini five times to “avenge her five dead sons.” Eventually, the two mutilated bodies were strung upside down for everyone to see. For hours the crowd laughed and spit at Mussolini’s body. On the following day he was buried in the family tomb in Predappo.

Ill see if i cant get my friends research paper on Mussolini. He spent 6 months traveling doing research before writing it. Its really good.
:shock:
im not drunk
i heard ancient italian soldiers would rather kill themselves in combat than surrendering to enemy, is that still the culture for italian army in world war 2?
No in more recent times surrendering has been the favoured option.
Italy didnt exist as an integrated nation until about 30 years before the second world war, so I dont know which soldiers you would be referring to.
Abyssinia was the first “BIG ONE” for the united Italian military and they definetly didnt kill themselves there, being beheaded and having testicles forced into your mouth is a difficult party trick for most people to pull off let alone an Iti.
But seriously Italians are not often heard of to fight to the death, let alone perform Hari Kiri (not hare Krishna - thats different)
