Partisans caught Mussolini and his spouse in near the Swiss border where they proceeded to beat, spit, and hang up their bodies as a example. When this hit the press globally it resulted in Adolf & Ava Braun committing suicide in the Fuhrer bunker under Berlin due to the fear that this would become their destiny too
while they were trying to escape capture. Piazzale Loreto in Milan is where the bodies were exposed and this picture taken. And she was not his spouse.Plus, exposing the bodies in that location was done as a retaliation/vendetta to this: hey killed them then hanged them along side with some other fascist leaders from their ankles on a gas station in Milan.
On 8 August 1944, unknown elements carried out an attack with two explosive devices against a German lorry (registration number WM 111092) parked in viale Abruzzi in Milan. In that attack, no German soldier was killed (the driver Heinz Kuhn, who slept in the cockpit, suffered only minor injuries) but it caused the death of six Milanese citizens and the wounding of eleven others.[1] Despite the absence of military victims and a claim, the episode was still used as a pretext for the shooting of the 15 partisans.[2] The episode, with very different and anomalous characteristics compared to the other partisan attacks, it is suspected, as was also done by the court in the trial held in 1998, was artfully organized by the Germans themselves to justify the subsequent reprisals
At dawn on 10 August 1944, in Milan, fifteen partisans were taken from the San Vittore prison and taken to Piazzale Loreto, where they were shot by a firing squad made up of fascist militias of the Oberdan group of the «Ettore Muti» legion led by Captain Pasquale Cardella who was acting under the orders of the German command, in particular of the SS captain Theo Saevecke, later known as the executioner of Piazzale Loreto, then commander of the security service (SD) of Milan and its province (AK Mailand).
