Mussolini (Italy) and Hitler (Germany) formed an Axis in 1936. Original caption: "Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini in Munich, Germany, ca. June, 1940."
Mussolini, Fascist dictator of Italy, is on the left. Adolf Hitler, Nazi leader of Germany, is on the right.
By the end of the Second World War, both leaders would be dead. Benito Mussolini would be killed, and his corpse defiled, by his own people.
Adolf Hitler, with Russian troops coming from the East, would avoid prosecution for war crimes by committing suicide in a Berlin bunker.
