Mussolini was moved to a mountain resort in Abruzzo where he was completely isolated. He was rescued from his imprisonment only two months later by a squad of German paratroopers. By this time, Mussolini was in very poor health and wanted to retire. However, he now owed his life to the German leader. The rescue saved Mussolini from being turned over to the Allies, that was agreed upon in the armistice. Hitler had made plans to arrest the king, his son Crown Prince Umberto,General Badoglio, and the rest of the government in order to restore Mussolini to power in Rome, but the government's escape to Southern Italy ended that plan..
