Yes, she was, but not quite in the way you are thinking. Clara Petacci was with Mussolini in a country hotel in northern Italy. They were caught by a group of partisans, who shot them both dead. They were then taken to Milan, the second city of Italy. After their heels had been tied together, they were strung up from a lamp-post, side by side and upside down. Mussolini did not have plans to leave Italy but instead he retreated to northern Italy. However as the partisans became more threatening, he began to flee. His mistress wanted to join him so she and her brother, Marcello, following after him. When the German convoy was stopped by the Partisans, the German leader told Mussolini to disguise himself in a German overcoat and helmet. The other Italians were not allowed to go. That was when Mussolini was captured. Later Marcello and Clara were captured but no one recognized Clara. Finally she asked to be re-united with Mussolini, which sealed her fate. At first, the partisans mistakenly thought her brother, Marcello, was Vittorio Mussolini, the son of Il Duce. The Communist Partisans gathered 15 prisoners for execution at Dongo. Marcello Petacci was shot while trying to escape this execution by jumping into Lake Como.
