Together with Herbert Kappler, the German Gestapo chief in Rome, Caruso organized the massacre at the Fosse Ardeatine on 24 March 1944 in retaliation for an attack the previous day by Italian partisans on a column of German soldiers in Rome. During the massacre, 335 people, many of them members of the Italian Resistance, were shot. One of the victims, Maurizio Giglio, had been one of Caruso's own lieutenants but had been arrested seven days earlier after being exposed as a secret agent working for the Allies through the OSS. His name was Pietro Caruso. After the liberation of Rome, Caruso was tried for his numerous crimes, sentenced to death on 21 September 1944, and executed by a firing squad of the Polizia di Stato in the courtyard of Fort Bravetta in Rome. The High Court of Justice also sentenced Roberto Occhietto, Caruso's secretary and co-defendant, to 30 years' imprisonment on the same charge of collaboration. The eight member High Court, presided over by Judge Lorenzo Maroni, heard prosecutor Mario Berlinguer describe the two defendants as "wild beasts." The verdicts were delivered after two hours of deliberation. Caruso, who had been sentenced to be shot in the back, turned pale as Maroni announced the verdict.

12 French women being paraded through the streets of Paris, their heads shaved, swastikas drawn on their faces, while people threw feces at them. It wasn’t just for sleeping with the Germans; they had worked as translators for the enemy during the interrogation of Resistance members and Jews.

This story was truly heartwarming. I found it in the CBS archives. A man approaches a CBS reporter in Russia after realizing they are American and shares the story of his captivity. He had been held in a concentration camp alongside American soldiers, separated from them by a large fence. Each American soldier received five kilos of food from the Red Cross every Friday, but the Germans allowed nothing for the Red Army POWs. They were given only a small amount of soup each day and were constantly starving. Some U.S. soldiers came up with a plan with the Red Army POWs across the fence to throw food over to the Russian prisoners. The plot was eventually discovered, and the Gestapo brought all 8,000 American soldiers outside and demanded they reveal the names of the Russians involved on the other side. Not a single American opened his mouth or betrayed them.
