The BRUTAL Execution Of Mussolini's Son In Law - Count Galeazzo Ciano

One of the key figures during the Second World War, and one man who was incredibly close to Adolf Hitler was Benito Mussolini. The Fascist dictator of Italy followed Nazi Germany into World War 2, and he gave Hitler his full support, however they were not the most effective nation during the conflict. Mussolini himself was even ousted from power in Italy such was the fall in his popularity, and one of the figures against him was his own son in law, Gian Galeazzo Ciano.

Ciano was Mussolini's son in law, and he became his Foreign Minister after marrying Mussolini's daughter Edda. He gained this job through the marriage, but he was a realist who saw the shortfalls of the Italian military. He knew that the Italian involvement in World War 2 would end in an defeat, and for this he began to oppose and dissent against his own father Mussolini. He even voted against him when he was thrown out of office, but after this he was captured by the Germans and Ciano was handed over to his father in law, who placed him on trial.

Galeazzo Ciano was sentenced to death for treason, and Mussolini refused to spare him despite his daughter's appeals. He was shot by a firing squad outside of Verona, and it was noted that the executioners did not perform their job well.
