He was taken prisoner in perhaps 1943, if I remember correctly. The germans carried out a covert raid and released him and transported him to Germany. At the end of the war, at about the time when the allies crossed the Po and broke the last really strong German defensive line in Italy, Mussolini and his mistress were captured and executed by the Italian partisans somewhere in northern Italy.
