    Now see, I know that you are referring to the liberal régimes like Imperial America, but eleven months ago I had a strange dream about confirmed Fascists who fought for the Allies, and it turned out that there were indeed some.

    In the same vein, some Fascists refused to go to war against the RSI, while others joined the Royal Army, considering this the honorable (and Fascist) thing to do. In perhaps the greatest irony imaginable, eager draftees in May 1944 shouted “Hail Mussolini! Duce! Duce!” when in fact the army they were joining was at war with Mussolini.⁷⁵

        The best explanation that I can propose is that they simply had not yet heard the news that Benito Mussolini was the official head of the Salò régime.
