Should Mussolini not have been killed by Italian partisans in 1945, what does the future hold for him?
Trial and imprisonment by the Italian state? Execution by the post war government after a trial?
Will the Allies want him?

In addition to Il Duce if he’s taken captive alive, I wonder who else will get tried, convicted and sentenced? Maybe it wasn’t quite as depraved as Nazi Germany or Imperial Japan, but I’m guessing that as a fascist power, Italy had its share of baddies for the Allies to hunt down and punish accordingly. |

Mussolini did start a war of aggression. As to other war crimes, I'm not so sure.
The Italians switched sides and we recognised as an Allied nation so, with reflection, I'd assume they get him rather than an international trial.

Oh well, benny caught alive and subjected to a trail...probably by an allied tribunal with some (very quiet) italian observer will mean a lot in term of italian internal affair and not in a good way. Basically a trial of this kind can really expand and include a lot of people that in OTL had been pardoned or just served a light sentence; sure morally them paying for their crime is the right thing to do, the problem is that after 20 years of regime the entire state apparatus was involved in some manner and for this reason even the PCI agreed to a general pardon to keep the state functioning and basically not throwing in jail everyone and worsening the internal situation

I was wondering Mussolini was killed in OTL on April 25th 1945, what if he somehow manged to get to Berlin, set up a Italian government in Exile, and together with Hitler decided to end their lives on April 30th 1945. Another thing i was thinking, he would be able to stay in what territory the RSI had and could held some days longer than Hitler, before committing suicide ore being captured by the Allies.  |
