Best Answer

Mussolini did not surrender, he was removed from office by the Grand Fascist Council, arrested, and later freed by German special forces led by Otto Skorzeny. He was then made leader of the Italian Social Republic in the north, until his murder at the hands of communist partisans towards the end of the war.

Who led Italy at the end of World War 2?

The Italians executed Benito Mussolini and set up a temporary government until the war was over. King Victor Emmanuel III replaced Mussolini with Marshal Pietro Badoglio. It was the King who ordered Mussolini's arrest, trial, conviction and execution. The free Italians were deliriously thrilled. They were so glad to surrender to the Allied Forces and join them.


First axis power defeated in World War 2?

On September 8th 1943, Italy rose against Mussolini and formed the "Kingdom Of Italy" however, 14 days later on September 22nd, Mussolini and his followers formed the RSI or Italian Social Republic in order to continue their fight. When Mussolini was killed on April 25th 1945 the Italian Social Republic surrendered on April 29th. Three days later Berlin was captured and Germany fell. So in truth while Italy did surrender first they in reality didn't surrender in 1943 but in fact 1945.
