War Stories

The mad escape of Benito Mussolini (1x1)

Air date: Jun 23, 2017

Back to one of the most incredible escapes of the Second World War. In this new program of our channel, Zecharia looks back on unusual and significant historical facts of the last wars. The idea behind this show is to put the little story in the big one, without glorifying the war and its actors. This incredible act of war should not, however, erase the terrible atrocities and the important role of Benito Mussolini in the 55 million deaths caused by the Second World War. Founder of fascism, this totalitarian dictator plunged his country into war and destruction, committed terrible massacres in Africa and Europe and willingly participated in Hitler's war crimes against humanity.
