Watson. Were you in Milan to see Mussolini strung up? Or did you go there later? I need to talk to you. My Dad said he was there. I'm looking for anyone who was there. I'm trying to understand how the GI's got to Milan as it was still ahead of the Allied advance when Mussolini was executed by Communist partisans.
Please tell me more.

This photo shows was taken at the Piazza Loretto in Milan. I count 8 American helmets in this
photo. Maybe one of the GI's in this photo could be Watson and my Dad.
