Fosse Ardeatine

Today we travelled to the mausoleum at Fosse Ardeatine.  You can get the full story if you Google that name.  In a nutshell, in March of 1944, the Italian resistance put 25kg of TNT in a street cart, lit the fuse and killed 28 German soldiers.  The Nazis, with Adolf’s direct order (you remember Adolf... “Let’s Make Germany Great Again”), decided to retaliate and kill 330 people (10 or so Italians for every German death).  They ended up killing 335, in a cave in the suburbs of Rome.  Then they bombed the site cuz they wanted to keep it a big secret.  Well, the secret got out.

It’s pretty eerie.
