Explanation

Benito Mussolini was executed on April 28, 1945, while attempting to flee to Switzerland. He was captured by Italian partisans near Lake Como, shot, and his body was later displayed in Milan. This happened just days before Germany's surrender (May 7-8, 1945) and marked the definitive end of Fascist Italy in WWII. Mussolini's execution is considered one of the symbolic endpoints of the war in Europe, alongside Hitler's suicide (April 30) and Germany's unconditional surrender in early May.
