Fifty million people died in the Second World War, the biggest massacre in the history of humanity. But the animal kingdom also paid a heavy toll, despite no official numbers being compiled for the victims. This included combat animals, animals that backed up humans, those that entertained or consoled them, some that fed people, and other animals that were symbols. On all fronts and on all continents, at all points of the compass, beasts accompanied mankind in this global conflict. This full archive documentary - partly colorized - shows how dogs, horses, elephants and pigeons became WW2 soldiers’ best friends in battle.

Benito Mussolini y Adolf Hitler fueron dos dictadores de apariencia muy distinta, aunque guiados ambos por el mismo fanatismo ideológico de corte fascista. Las respectivas trayectorias de ambos, que en un principio compartieron muchos aspectos, se fueron separando en el curso del tiempo, y su relación adquirió ribetes conflictivos y dramáticos. Mediante imágenes de archivo, el documental retrata esta singular relación entre los dos dictadores. Combinando los sucesos históricos y la vida privada, refleja su equívoca alianza subrayando el punto de vista de Mussolini, el menos poderoso de los dos tiranos. A través de la relación entre ambos se desgranan aspectos reveladores aunque no muy conocidos de la II Segunda Guerra Mundial.
