What is the Marzabotto massacre?
Towards the end of 1943, the Allies invaded southern Italy. Mussolini was removed from power by the Italian government (Italy still had a king at the time- but he had mostly sat back and let Mussolini run things) and arrested. However, Germany's powerful military occupied most of northern Italy, and German commandos were able to rescue Mussolini from captivity. He was brought to the German occupied northern Italy and made the leader of the new "Italian Social Republic"- but the Germans were really in charge. Italians who opposed Mussolini and his German friends then started a guerrilla war against them. Some Germans came to believe that people from the town of Marzabotto had been assisting these guerrillas. The Germans were notorious for punishing huge amounts of people for similar reasons- the entire Czech town of Lidice was wiped out after Reinhard Heydrich was assassinated in 1942., and further thousands more Czech people were arrested or killed. Marzabotto would suffer a similar fate. The Waffen-SS slaughtered the people there. It's unclear exactly how many people were murdered, but it's probably somewhere around 800, and maybe half of that was women, children, or elderly. After the war, the German officers who had overseen the massacre were arrested, tried, and imprisoned for their crimes.
