On 24 March 1944, 335 civilians and political prisoners were murdered in retaliation of an attack against the SS Police Regiment Bozen the previous day. For each German policeman that was killed, one Italian would be executed in retaliation. The massacre took place inside of the tunnels near Via Ardeatina. Caseloads of cognac were delivered to calm the officers' nerves, many who had never participated in anything of this nature.  Watch more accounts and stories like this one here on the Misdeeds & Intrigue YouTube Channel  https://youtube.com/@misdeedsandintriguepodcast This episode in general may contain certain copyrighted works that were not specifically authorized to be used by the copyrighted holder(s), but which we believe in good faith are protected by general law and the fair use doctrine for one or more of the purposes of criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, or research.
