Bose Lussolini. Now she missed with the first shot, but

44
00:03:12.599 --> 00:03:15.599
she nicked his nose on the second shot. Surprisingly, Mussolini,

45
00:03:15.719 --> 00:03:17.080
he didn't get that mad and he just kind of

46
00:03:17.080 --> 00:03:20.120
shrugged it off. No harm, no foul. Italian government though

47
00:03:20.159 --> 00:03:22.919
they had her deported, they thought she was crazy as hell. See,

00:03:30.400 --> 00:03:32.280
freaked that government out. See, they kind of knew that

52
00:03:32.360 --> 00:03:35.719
Mussolini wasn't a good guy. Nineteen forty five, in World
