Benito Mussolini Part 5: The Pact of Steel

At the Munich Conference, Mussolini postures as a peacemaker. With
Hitler in the ascendancy, the Rome-Berlin Axis is upgraded to a
military alliance. High on fascist adrenaline, Il Duce invades
Albania. Soon, in the backdraft of the German Blitzkrieg, he will
declare war on Britain and France… A Noiser production, written by
Jeff Dawson. Many thanks to Giulia Albanese, Joshua Arthurs, John
Foot, Nicholas O’Shaughnessy, Lisa Pine, Helen Roche, Thomas Weber.
