Default 70 years ago today - 25th April 1945 Liberation of Italy

April 25 is Liberation Day - Anniversario della Liberazione . This statutory holiday marks the liberation of Italy from Nazi and fascist rule in 1945, although the German troops retreating towards Germany continued to slaughter many innocent people at least until the end of April.
Then some sort of civil war between ex-partisans and ex-fascists continued for a long time after.
Still this country wouldn't be what it is today without the sacrifice of many thousands people that came to fight here in Europe and made the World a better place to live.
I'd love to be able to thank them indeed.
