In the first of a double bill of Wolfenstein inspired stories Claudia Bianchi, the leader of the la brigata femminile, a small but effective band of all female Italian partisans, is about to receive some unexpected news. Following the allied landings at Anzio south of Rome, the Italian fascist leader Benito Mussolini is about to be moved from his residence in Villa Torlonia, North-East of the city centre to the Villa Mussolini at Riccione. This presents an opportunity for the group to deal a severe blow to the fascistas who have overrun their homeland and restore democracy by kidnapping Mussolini himself. Will they succeed? This is their story…


The Ruins of Villa Gordiani, 6km East of Rome, Friday 4th September 1943, 17:45pm


As the flames from the small campfire lit her olive skinned sharp but beautiful features, 26 year old Claudia Bianchi picked up her guitar and began to strum it. “Una mattina mi son svegliato, O bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao ciao ciao. Una mattina mi son svegliato, Eo ho trovato l’invasor…” she began to skin, tears glistening in her big almond shaped brown eyes as she reminisced about her husband, Vittorio, a partisan who just a couple of months ago was captured and executed by the Nazis before she could even mount a rescue. Tears began to stream down her cheeks trying to recall his face. “ O partigiano porta mi via, O bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao ciao ciao. O partigiano porta mi via, Che mi sento di morir…” Her thoughts then turned to the young women who had died for their cause, for freedom and the rest of La Brigata Femminile under her command. “Excuse me, capo donna?” Came the voice of a young woman who she knew very well, Gianna Rossi her 24 year old second in command. Taking a deep breath she set aside her guitar, shook her long raven haired curls from her face and looked up.


“How many times have I told you, Gianna? Call me Claudia. We've been friends for over a year.” She said to the pretty redhead with rounded freckled features, doe shaped emerald green eyes and a mess of light ginger hair. The girl blushed for a second before flashing her a smile. “I know but calling you by your name is disrespectful.” Claudia chuckled, rising to her feet. “ So, Gianna? What's the news?” she could see the fire of excitement in her eyes. “It's the Duce! Our scouts in Roma have reported that the Lei Lupi are preparing to move him from Villa Torlonia to Villa Mussolini on the Northern Coast at Riccione!” Claudia gasped in surprise clutching her friends' soldiers. “ Then we have him! The chance we've been waiting for has finally arrived!” The two women stood for a moment breathing excitedly before collecting themselves. “Have you told Allegra and Camilla? Knowing them they will want in on the action.” Gianna nodded. “Yeah, they are waiting for you in the command tent in the ruins.” Snatching up her Carcano rifle, Claudia fell into step behind the young red head.


In the bones of the old Roman villa, reaching up into the evening sky like a rib cage Claudia greeted two of her best partisans, experts like herself and Gianna in the art of disguise. “Claudia…” said Allegra Santaniello, holding out her hand in greeting. Claudia gripped her hand, feeling a strong firm grip. She was an attractive 24 year old from Naples with pale skin, slender features and stone grey eyes, her shoulder length ash brown hair tied into a short ponytail. “...well met, sister. It seems that the allied landing at Anzio and parachute drops have the Duce running scared.” Next to her, Camilla Giordano, a short petite woman of 23 years with slightly squared features, blue green eyes and shoulder length ash blonde hair nodded. “Yeah, those pretty little pushovers the Lei Lupi are about to move him far away from the battlefront.” Next to her, Allegra sighed, pinching the bridge of her nose. “ You know that I used to be one of those ‘pretty pushovers’, Cami. They are more skilled than you'd think.” Camilla snaked her arm around her lover's waist. “ But you got out and saw the light, Alli.” Allegra caressed her cheek. “Only because you opened my eyes, sweetie.” The two women giggled before sharing a passionate kiss. Claudia smiled at the couple, the two had been dating for over a year after Allegra had defected from the Lei Lupi after springing Camille who she had fallen for. Her knowledge of the enemy's tactics and command structure had been invaluable to the group.


Letting the lovebirds have their fun, Claudia cleared her throat after 5 minutes. “So what's the situation on the ground?” She said leaning across the table. “How many little wolves can we expect?” Allegra pulled out of her embrace with Camilla and folded her arms across her breasts. “Our scouts reported 6; 4 perimeter sentries, 1 on the gatehouse and 2 inside. Plus the Duce and his latest squeeze. But that was an hour ago, so things could have changed since then.” Behind her shoulder, Gianna nodded. “Then I suggest we head there now, boss. And get the lay of the land. We won't get this opportunity a second time, so we move now before they can move him.” The three other women concurred. Pushing herself up from the table, Claudia smiled. “We have a chance to free our beloved Italy, let's take it ladies. Por la libertà!” She cried, clenching her fist. The others echoed the cry of the partisans as they left the tent.


The Villa Torlonia, North-East Rome, 18:15pm


Taking horses and utilising the hidden partisan paths, to avoid patrols and military checkpoints the four women found themselves overlooking the marble façade and elaborate gardens of the Villa Torlonia. “It looks like our scouts were right on the money. Two Lei Lupi patrolling the gardens and two around the front, plus the gate guard. We also have transport at the front of the Villa…” Claudia handed the binoculars to Gianna who passed it to Allegra who in turn handed them to Camilla. Allegra smiled. “Camille and I will take the two pretty ones at the front and take their uniforms.” Camille flashed her a wink in agreement as Claudia nodded, turning to Gianna. “That leaves the blonde and brunette to us in the garden, my friend.” Gianna concurred. Mhm, we knock them out and take the uniforms, that should get us and the Duce past the gate guard off the grounds. But then we have the mistress and the guards inside. What should we do about them?”


Claudia placed a hand on her shoulder. “All in good time, Gianna. So any questions, comrades before we head out?” She asked her team. Camilla raised her hand. “Where are we taking Il Duce when we have him? To the allies at Anzio?” Claudia shook her head. “No, we take him to our contacts with the army and they can transport him to Gran Sasso. No one will be able to free him from that plateau, not even the bloody Nazis.” Gianna nodded. “Yeah, he's been ousted by our people. He's our problem, not the allies.” The group nodded in agreement, before Claudia held out her hand. “Alright, let's get this done. When we have the uniforms we will meet at the front of the house and go inside, our target is Mussolini's bedroom on the third floor. Good luck my friends and por la libertà!” The three others repeated the oath and gesture before splitting up and sliding down the ridge squeezing through the wrought iron fences.


The Villa Torlonia Gardens, 18:25pm


“I’am telling you, Giulia. I'm getting feelings of déjà vû, it was on an evening just like this. A week ago..” said Alessia Esposito ominously as she and her fellow Lei Lupi and best friend Giulia Russo came together by a low hedgerow in the garden. She was a striking girl from Napoli with heart shaped olive skinned features, high classical cheekbones and bright almond shaped eyes. Her long raven coloured hair tied into a ponytail under her black patrol cap. Giulia, a no less attractive tomboyish girl from the south with rounded features, shallow features and bright hazel eyes framed by shoulder length ash blonde hair, shrugged taking out her cigarettes from her pocket. “What when we got ambushed by those British agents at the dig site, who then stole our uniforms and left us naked in the bushes?” Alessia nodded gravely, accepting a cigarette. Giulia chuckled, shaking her head as she took out her lighter. “And you worry too much Alessia.”


As they crept silently towards the two sentries who had their backs turned to them, Claudia and Gianna sized up their marks who were dressed in the telltale uniforms of Mussolini's elite female soldiers, the Lei Lupi ; tight black shirts with the diamond shaped shaped insignia of a snarling rearing black wolf on a white field, with fasces below in their right breasts. Grey belted trousers with red piping down the seams and ammo pouches for their M1891 Carcano rifles looped over their soldiers and black laced ankle boots. “The brunette’s definitely my size, Gianna. What do you make of the blonde tomboy?” Gianna nodded, impressed by the girl. “Allegra can say what she likes, the Lei Lupi are lookers and I’ve always liked stealing their uniforms. I can slip into her uniform, sure.” Claudia flashed her a smile. “They are pretty, I will give them that. From an art appreciation point of view of course.” Creeping ever closer, Claudia patted her friend's shoulder. “Right, let's get into position and on my signal we'll put them to sleep.” Taking their position just below the women on the other side on the hedge, the two partisan readied themselves as they caught the back of their conversation.


Alessia’s brow furrowed at her friend's dismissal. “ I worry too much? Isn't it our job to stay alert? We were complacent at the dig site and look what happened?” Giulia rolled her eyes lighting her cigarette. “Put it this way, Alessia. Who's going to be crazy enough to sneak into the Duce's palace and steal our uniforms? Partisans?” Alessia thought for a moment, Maybe she does have a point? The blonde continued taking a long drag. “We are in the most secure place in Italy, no one is going to attack us here. Now are you going to smoke that or what?” Laughing at her own silliness, Alessia nodded, raising her cigarette to Giulia's lighter. But before she could light it, both sentries felt hands clamp over their mouths to muffle their cries, and arms wrapping under their breasts yanking them over the hedgerow.


Quickly pulling the two Lei Lupi to the grass, the partisans wrapped their legs around the sentries to immobilise them while they snaked their arms around their throats to cut off their blood flow, pressing gently on the back of their heads. Alessia and Giulia tried desperately to pull the arms of their attackers away but the strength of the partisans was more superior. First Giulia let out a strangled sexy gurgle as she slumped unconscious into Gianna’s grip, followed closely by Alessia who managed a strangled “N-not a-again uhhhh…” before she passed out in Claudia's embrace.



“Did she just say what I think she just said?” Asked Gianna rolling the sleeping body of Giulia off of her before stripping off her clothes. Claudia chuckled, taking off Alessia's cap, putting it on then adopting a chignon ponytail using the girls hair tie. “ Yep, she said ‘Not again.’” After undressing she unbuttoned Alessia's shirt. The red head laughed, unlacing Giulia's boots pulling them off along with her white socks. “ Looks like this isn't her first time getting her clothes stolen, ha!” The partisan leader removed Alessia's boots then tapped her on the cheek. “Looks like you two are both unlucky girls. My condolences.” She quipped as the pair resumed their stripping of the two Lei Lupi laughing as they did so.


Within five minutes, the two partisans were fully dressed in their stolen uniforms, the scantily clad Alessia and Giulia, bound and gagged with duct tape. Alessia dressed only in her blue cotton slip with white lace trim, the nipples of her ample young breasts peeking stiffly through the thin fabric. While Giulia was wearing only a white lace bra and matching low waisted lace panties, showing off the subtle muscle definition of her arms and abs. “Hmm? Blondie's quite fit isn't she? She has taken good care of herself.” Said an impressed Gianna as she pulled on Giulia's cap admiring her young body. Claudia nodded in agreement glancing down at the bound Alessia.“ And this one…” she nudged the brunette’s body with her foot “...as great taste in underwear. Very nice quality slip.” Taking the two unconscious underwear clad sentries under their shoulders, they dragged them over into nearby bushes laying them on top of each other and concealing them from view. Looping the women's rifles over their shoulders, the partisans walked back into the garden.


Claudia glanced at her watch as they made their way through the gardens. “Okay, we are on schedule just waiting on Allegra and Camilla. I wonder how they have gotten on?” Gianna chuckled, flashing her friend a wink. “ Knowing those two they probably went before we did. You know how much those lovebirds like to get stuck in.” Claudia laughed, putting away her watch as the two walked around to the front of the Villa.


The Front of the Villa, 8 Minutes Before.


From their positions in the bushes overlooking the large fountain in the front gardens, Allegra and Camilla observed the two Lei Lupi sentries coming together to share a cigarette. “Ugh! Such unprofessionalism! They should be continuing their patrols, no matter if they are dying for a smoke.” The ex Lei-Lupi sighed with disgust as the pretty girls let up. Next to her, Camilla, her lover giggled, kissing her on the cheek. “ But mighty considerate of them, nevertheless.” Allegra returned the kiss on her lips before returning to the sentries. They were both young and attractive girls, which Allegra knew all too well were the main prerequisites Benito looked for his ‘she wolves' and often led to unfair and scandalous misconceptions about their true purpose. Allegra knew from experience that the Lei Lupi were dedicated, highly trained women and not ‘Mussolini's Harem' as the Nazis often referred to them which did them no justice.


The girl on the right was a pretty little thing with classical italian features; olive skinned oval face, high cheekbones and almond shaped green-hazel eyes with dark brown hair knotted into a bun at the base of her neck under her hat. Her uniform doing wonders for her athletic figure and armed with a Beretta M1938 Submachine gun. While her partner was small and slim with cute rounded features, doe shaped blue eyes and short chestnut almost blonde hair, cut short in a boyish style that enhanced her natural beauty, a Carcano rifle looped over her shoulder. “They are both good looking girls, but not as pretty as you, my sweet.” Allegra chuckled when she saw the mock scandalised look on her lover's face, who pushed her away playfully.


“I'll take the taller brunette first, she's definitely my size and you the petite girl. Does that work for you, my love?” Camilla giggled her approval. “I can see myself in her uniform. I wonder what they're wearing under all that? You think it's something racy like the last two we ambushed?” Allegra flashed her a wink. “Let's find out my dear.” Clearing her throat she slowly brought up her hands to her mouth cupping them…


Dark haired brunette Viviana Baretta sighed taking a couple of puffs from her cigarette. “So let me get this straight, Gabriella? Russo and Esposito get jumped by two British agents and lose their uniforms yet they get this detail? How are they not in Russia right now shivering their tits off?” Gabriella Moretti shrugged, blowing out a steady stream of blue smoke. “Perhaps Il Duce took pity on them? I mean they are both pretty, especially Alessia…” she said with a look of longing taking a drag from her cigarette. Viviana snorted, tapping ash from hers. “Bah! I’m way better looking than she is. So are you.” she smiled looking suggestively at the smaller brunette. Gabriella coughed out her smoke, blushing bright red at the revelation.


Viviana gently squeezed Gabriella's forearm. “Don't worry I’ll protect you, I have the eyes of a hawk and ears of a fox. No one is going to sneak up on us and steal our uniforms.” Suddenly from behind them, the sound of a bird call caught their attention. “What was that?!” Viviana said, spinning around and taking a step forward clutching her gun, her back to Gabriella. “It sounded like an owl?” The smaller woman replied, shrugging her shoulders.


Seizing the opening made by Allegra, Camilla quickly but silently advanced on the smaller brunette and in one smooth motion clamped a hand over her mouth to muffle her cries of surprise, and snaked her arm around the Lei Lupi’s slender neck. Dragging her off towards the bushes, Camilla squeezed the girl's neck cutting off the blood flow from her brain as she desperately tried to get her friend's attention. Then with a low muffled rattle of breath, Gabriella slumped limply into Camilla's arms before they had even reached the bushes. Grinning, Camilla dragged the unconscious girl's body out of sight, her boots scraping off the ground. She turned just in time to see her lover do what she did best.


Viviana waved out an irritated arm. “Damn stupid bird. Get lost before I make a pillow out of you!” She then turned around back to face Gabriella. “Now where were we…?” Her voice died away as she saw a pale skinned attractive brunette dressed in a leather jacket, standing before her flashing a wink. “Buonasera sorella…” she said before knocking the wind out of Viviana with a punch to her solar plexus that made her double up with a grunt of pain. And following through with a sharp chop to the back of her neck that sent the ground rushing up to meet her.


Laughing at the cute squeak the Lei Lupi made as she dropped unconscious, Allegra took the woman under her arms, dragging her towards the bushes where Camilla waited. She had arrived to find Camilla busy getting dressed in Gabriella's uniform, the young sentry laying on her back at her feet clad only in her red satin with black lace trim bra and matching shorts covering her modesty. “Sexy little number for a bodyguard, I wonder who her date was?” Camilla asked glancing pointedly at Viviana as Allegra stripped off her clothes. “Now I’m looking forward to seeing what she's got under all that. I’ll just bet she's violating regulations, just like the little girl there.” She gestured with her head at the stirring underwear clad sentry. “W-what happened? Viviana?” She said groggily, big blue eyes blinking back into focus.


“Hold that thought my love.” Camilla quickly kissed her lover on the cheek before straddling the stirring sentry, grabbing her by the throat. “No so fast, little fascista!” She winked swiftly, punching Gabriella twice in the temple and sending her back into unconsciousness with a surprised squeak of pain. “Always so gentle my love.” Allegra giggled looking up from unbuttoning Viviana's shirt before unlacing and pulling off her boots along with her hat, putting it on, as her lover took some duct tape from her pack taping up Gabriella’s wrists, ankles and gagging her.


Now fully dressed in Viviana's uniform, Allegra took Camilla into her arms and passionately kissed her over the scantily clad body of Viviana, wearing only her pink cotton bullet bra and high waisted briefs showing off her trim figure. They were soon interrupted by the sounds of the brunette beginning to wake. “Ow! That b-bloody partisan bitch. You there Gabriella…?” She slurred raising her hand to her forehead. Pulling out of the kiss reluctantly Allegra sighed. “Mind if I do the honours, babe?” She said straddling Viviana clamping a hand on her mouth. “By all means, Alli. I always love to watch you work.” Her lover replied with a grin.


“Buonasera sorella. Time for you to go back to sleep, my dear.” Allegra said, turning Viviana's head to expose her neck, noting she became visibly distraught at seeing the bound scantily clad form of Gabriella nearby. “Don't worry girl, she'll be alright. Here let me do you two a favour…” With that she chopped the right side of her neck, sending the girl back to sleep with a muffled grunt.” Accepting duct tape from Camilla she taped up the woman's wrists and ankles before gagging her with a tap on the cheek.


Taking the two scantily clad Lei Lupi, Allegra and Camilla placed Viviana's head into Gabriella's crotch concealing them from view in the bushes. “I think they are going to enjoy getting cosy in that bush.” Camilla giggled as the two made their way towards the front doors, Allegra glanced over her shoulder a wicked grin on her face. “All they will have to worry about is the squirrels.” The lovers burst out laughing approaching the front marble façade, noticing two very familiar sentries come from the rear gardens.


The Front Entrance, 18:36pm


“Excellent work, my friends. We are right on schedule…” Claudia smiled checking her watch as the four, in their disguises, came together on the front steps. “Any trouble with your sentries, Allegra?” Allegra shared a smile with her lover before answering. “They weren't very accommodating. We had to put them to sleep a second time and make them extra comfortable.” Claudia and Gianna chuckled. “And ours were very helpful by comparison.” The red head quipped. “ Too bad, knocking them out twice is always so much fun, lucky bitches.” The four shared a laugh, until Claudia's face straightened.


“All right ladies, time to get our game faces on. We are here to make history and free our nation! Are you all ready?” The three of them nodded with Allegra flashing her a determined expression. “I think I speak for all of us, Claudia, when I say we were born ready!” Claudia felt pride at her comrades, her friends swelling in her breast. “It's an honour to lead you into the fire, comrades. Let's go make history, por la libertá!” The partisan’s echoed the oath as they followed Claudia into the Villa.


The Villa Torlonia, Third Floor, 18:46pm


Lei Lupi Francesca Ricci, a pretty 21 year old with long braided auburn hair draped over her shoulder and big green eyes, chuckled hearing the giggling from the Duce's bedchamber, the two of them flanking the ornate wooden doors. “Man he's got some stamina, alright. We're supposed to be moving him in an hour but he's too deep into Clara Petacci.” Her partner Lucia Carbone, a no less attractive girl of 22 with shoulder length brown curls, supple tanned gentle features and dove shaped brown eyes shook her head grinning. “I’d sooner be deep into Clara Petacci, if you know what I mean?” Francesca made a scandalous gasp at her friend's words. “Don't you let Il Duce catch you saying that, or you'll be on the next train to the east mopping up what's left of the Bolsheviks.” Lucia shrugged. “So? The Nazis have them beat and are marching up and down Red Square. All they’ll give us is clean up, grunt work. Like they always do. Still it beats guarding a door.” Turning her head, Francesca's brow furrowed as she saw four fellow Lei Lupi stride up to them, women they didn't recognise. Glancing back to Lucia who nodded, the two sentries stood alert as the lead brunette addressed them.


“Stand aside, we've got orders to move the Duce ahead of schedule. There's reports of American paratroopers landing nearby!” Lucia stood her ground. “We didn't hear anything on the radio and the dailies said nothing about American paratroopers.” The brunette sighed. “Look, Il Duce could be in danger and the Americans are right on our doorstep and you're arguing with me?!” Francesca shook her head. “Didn't you hear? Field Marshal Kesselring has launched a counter thrust to push the Americans back into the sea.” The four women glanced nervously at each other as Francesca continued. “So unless you can produce any written orders verifying a thought to the Duce's life, he's going to be moved on schedule.”


Claudia’s patience was wearing thin, she didn't expect the guards to be this much trouble. So much for subtlety, time for plan B. She flashed the two guards a warm smile. “Well I have my orders right here…” reaching into her pockets to distract them, Claudia quickly grabbed the sides of the women's heads and smashed them together. The two women made surprised pained yelps before collapsing into a heap on the ground. “Man, that was so sexy boss.” Gianna quipped as she and Allegra untangled the unconscious guards taping them up before dragging them out of sight. With a smile, Claudia flung open the wooden doors.


Mussolini's Bedroom, 18:53pm


The group entered to find Benito Mussolini wearing only black silk pyjamas entertaining his mistress, Clara Petacci on the bed. The woman was wearing a short red low cut Prada dress, black stockings and matching red heels, her slender neck graced by a silver inlaid pearl choker with matching heels in a vulgar display of opulence. Claudia had noted that they bore a striking resemblance and were the same size. Mussolini rose from his bed, face like a storm cloud “What is the meaning of this, soldier?! I thought I told you no interruptions for an hour!” His mistress flashed them an ice cold disapproving stare.


Claudia laughed, raising her rifle as her girls spread out. “ I’m afraid that you're ‘she wolves are out of action and won't be coming, Duce. You are now a prisoner of the Italian people and of my comrades…” she waved her arm at her three friends. “... La Brigata Femminile.” Allegra had walked over to the bed, seizing Clara by her wrist. “You're damn Partisans!” She shrieked as Allegra pulled her off the bed. Mussolini glanced nervously at his mistress then back at Claudia, concern evident on his face. “Where are my guards?! Why are you wearing their uniforms!” He yelled trying to appear imperious but failing, with Camilla and Gianna restraining him.


The young partisan leader lowered her rifle, flashing the fascist dictator a wink. “They are all fast asleep naked in the bushes, and they kindly donated their uniforms to the cause.” The other partisans laughed in unison at the casual remark. “Oh and the others you posted outside your door? They will both wake up with quite the headaches let me tell you. Seriously, you need better guards, Duce.” Another laugh from her colleagues. Mussolini scowled indignantly at her, his resemblance to a baby with colic made him all the more amusing.


“So what happens now, partisan filth?! Are you going to take me away and claim victory? And what of Clara? What is to become of her” Looping her rifle over her shoulder Claudia approached the struggling mistress, who Allegra had in a naked chokehold. “Oh don't worry, we have plans for her.” Clara set her a defiant stare. “If you're taking my Benito, partisan. Then I'm coming around as well. And that's non negotiable!” She said, stamping her foot like a spoiled child. Claudia simply chuckled, glancing at Allegra. “Well that's the plan but it won't be you exactly…” she signaled with her head to the tall partisan who gently squeezed Clara's neck with her arm, placing a hand on the back of her head and lowering her struggling form onto the bed. With a cute low sigh, Clara Petacci slumped unconscious onto the bed draped on her belly.


“You partisan bitch! She was unarmed.” Mussolini gasped as Claudia sat next to her and started to strip off her uniform. “She’ll be alright, Duce. But you won't be seeing her again for a long long time. Now listen up...” Naked she flipped Clara onto her back and removed her accessories putting them on before slipping off the heels. “Here's what's going to happen, we are going to dress you at gunpoint in your finest parade uniform and walk you out of here, with your loving mistress at your side. You do anything we don't like or signal a guard then you die and then the guard does. Understand?” Mussolini grimly nodded his head at three armed women who pushed him towards his wardrobe. Taking her eyes off the bald fascist leader, Claudia resumed stripping the unconscious Clara, rolling her onto her side and unbuttoning the dress from the rear.


Taking the straps of the dress, Claudia pulled the garment off her slim attractive body, a product of her life of privilege, with one smooth pull exposing her plump buoyant breasts with small dark pink areolas and stiff nipples and low cut black lace panties covering her modesty. Reasoning that she'd have to take the undergarments to sell the disguise, Claudia first rolled the stockings down off Clara's long legs before whipping off her lace knickers, revealing a small trimmed womanhood topped with a trimmed triangle of black public hair and pert peach shaped ass. Leaving Allegra to secure the sleeping mistress, Claudia quickly got dressed in her outfit including her underwear.


“M-my god! You look just like her! How is that possible?!” Mussolini's surprise earned him another round of laughter, as Allegra tucked the naked unconscious body of Clara Petacci into the bed. Flashing the fascist dictator a wink, Claudia fixed the woman's earrings on before pulling on a fur coat. “Remember, fascista…” she hissed, seizing him by the crook of his arm and jabbing a beretta handgun into his arm “...you make one wrong move or alert the guard at the gate…” Claudia hissed leaving the thought hanging, the fascist dictator fervently nodded his understanding. With a nod, she led her team with Mussolini in tow downstairs into the front entrance and into the staff car.


The Villa Front Entrance, 19:00pm


With Allegra behind the wheel, they reached the final gate guard, a pretty young woman with freckled oval features, short mousy brown hair and shining emerald eyes who flashed them a salute after walking to the driver's side door. “Il Duce! Sir, I didn't notice! Please forgive me!” With the barrel of Claudia's pistol at his side, Mussolini returned the salute. “No worries, soldier. We are moving to my villa at Riccione ahead of schedule.” In the front passenger seat, Camilla handed her lover the travel papers that they had seized from Mussolini's bedside tablet. Allegra handed the sentry the documents. “There is a credible threat against the Duce’s life from the Americans. We are moving him ahead of schedule to secure both his person and of Signorina Petacci.” She said with all the professionalism of the Lei-Lupi. On the backseat, Claudia sighed loudly. “Come on you odious little woman, let us pass. We were having some quiet alone time before these party poopers showed up and ruined everything.” She said in a perfect imitation of Clara's voice.


The young nervous guard swiftly returned the papers. “T-then don't let me keep you any longer, my apologies.” She stammered, turning on her heels and opening the large wrought iron gates wide, before standing aside to let them pass, her hand raised in the fascist party salute. Thanking her, and returning the gesture Allegra drove past her heading in the direction of the ruins of Villa Giordano.


The Road to Villa Giordano, 19:06pm


As her team broke out in song, "Bella Ciao, Bella Ciao, Bella Ciao Ciao Ciao"… Claudia grinned smugly to a defeated looking Mussolini next to her. She decided to let them celebrate their win, just like herself they had lost many loved ones and sisters in arms in the struggle against the fascistas and needed to feel that they had just freed their nation. But Claudia knew that if the news they heard about the Americans were true then their fight was only just beginning. Gazing out at the twinkling stars, humming the partisan song to herself Claudia Bianchi wished for a brighter future for her beloved Italy.

Well Stormtrooper, you had to know I would love this story. So many female guards being knocked out. And pretty young Italian women at that!

Fun return of Giulia and Alessia. I guess since they had basically been set up in the last chapter their commanders didn't discipline them too badly like, say, sending them to the Russian Front.

Great little discussion with the woman with Alessia worrying they will be attacked again and Giulia thinking she worries too much. And then we also get Claudia and Gianna discussing the women's looks and sizing up which one's uniform will fit best. And then the great comment “Right, let's get into position and on my signal we'll put them to sleep.” I love when we see the infiltrators discussing the attack while the sentries remained totally oblivious they are being watched and talked about.

I also love the image of them being yanked over the hedgerow. And then the idea of the Claudia and Gianna wrapping their legs around the women's bodies while the put them wrap their arms around their necks is very, very sexy!

We then get a very sexy image of both women tied up in their underwear. I also really liked the way Gianna admire's Alessia's body and the Claudia comments on Giulia's slip. I also like how Claudia just kind of nudges Gianna's body with her foot. She had just knocked the woman out and stolen her uniform but still shows detachment of just nudging her and commenting on the underwear choice.

And then of course we get a wonderful dragging scene with the women again laid on top of each other.

Next we get the wonderfully fun attack on Viviana and Gabriella. It of course is the wonderful distracted guards too busy chatting and smoking. I again love the set up comment “I'll take the taller brunette first, she's definitely my size and you the petite girl." The two women are just targets to Allegra and Camilla. Although that doesn't stop them from discussing how pretty they are.

Then we get the amazing scene where with Viviana only a short distance away Gabriella is attacked. And love that description "Dragging her off towards the bushes, Camilla squeezed the girl's neck cutting off the blood flow from her brain as she desperately tried to get her friend's attention. Then with a low muffled rattle of breath, Gabriella slumped limply into Camilla's arms before they had even reached the bushes."

Finally, although nothing ends up happening to her, I really like the scene with the gate guard.

Great attack on Vivsiana too. Love the punch to the solar plexus to knock the wind out of her and then a good old chop to the right spot on the neck to bash the right nerves and knock the pretty brunette out.

I also like the surprisingly sexy undies Gabriella was wearing.

Then love the scene of Gabriella starting to wake up and Camilla knocking her back out with the two temple punches. Rather rough on the poor woman which of course is why Allegra made the wonderful comment "“Always so gentle my love.”

I also really liked the idea of Allegra and Camilla kissing while standing over Vivianna's unconscious body.

Then we get another wonderful scene of having to knock a woman out a second time. Great comment from Allegra "“Buonasera sorella. Time for you to go back to sleep, my dear.” Then the way she moves Viviana's head to expose the right spot on her neck and then gives her yet another nexk chop.

Then we get the amazing scene with the two door guards. Love that kind of scene! Distract the two apparently rather dumb women with claiming to be taking out her orders then grabbing their heads and banging them together to knock the women out. Then love that they then bind and gag them and then drag them out of site.

Then the comments to Mussolini. I love first “ I’m afraid that you're ‘she wolves are out of action and won't be coming, Duce." And then “They are all fast asleep naked in the bushes, and they kindly donated their uniforms to the cause. Oh and the others you posted outside your door? They will both wake up with quite the headaches let me tell you. Seriously, you need better guards, Duce.”

It is interesting how she had no idea what had happen to her colleagues. She had no idea she was all along. Also, she seemingly was in a lot of danger. Claudia's comment "You do anything we don't like or signal a guard then you die and then the guard does" is certainly ominous. So, you have to wonder if Mussolini did try and alert the guard, would the team have killed her?

Regardless, she was totally duped and obiedently followed orders and opened the gate for them.

Anyway, just loved the story. Thanks!

Fun return of Giulia and Alessia. I guess since they had basically been set up in the last chapter their commanders didn't discipline them too badly like, say, sending them to the Russian Front.

Great little discussion with the woman with Alessia worrying they will be attacked again and Giulia thinking she worries too much. And then we also get Claudia and Gianna discussing the women's looks and sizing up which one's uniform will fit best. And then the great comment “Right, let's get into position and on my signal we'll put them to sleep.” I love when we see the infiltrators discussing the attack while the sentries remained totally oblivious they are being watched and talked about.

I also love the image of them being yanked over the hedgerow. And then the idea of the Claudia and Gianna wrapping their legs around the women's bodies while the put them wrap their arms around their necks is very, very sexy!

We then get a very sexy image of both women tied up in their underwear. I also really liked the way Gianna admire's Alessia's body and the Claudia comments on Giulia's slip. I also like how Claudia just kind of nudges Gianna's body with her foot. She had just knocked the woman out and stolen her uniform but still shows detachment of just nudging her and commenting on the underwear choice.

And then of course we get a wonderful dragging scene with the women again laid on top of each other.

Next we get the wonderfully fun attack on Viviana and Gabriella. It of course is the wonderful distracted guards too busy chatting and smoking. I again love the set up comment “I'll take the taller brunette first, she's definitely my size and you the petite girl." The two women are just targets to Allegra and Camilla. Although that doesn't stop them from discussing how pretty they are.

Then we get the amazing scene where with Viviana only a short distance away Gabriella is attacked. And love that description "Dragging her off towards the bushes, Camilla squeezed the girl's neck cutting off the blood flow from her brain as she desperately tried to get her friend's attention. Then with a low muffled rattle of breath, Gabriella slumped limply into Camilla's arms before they had even reached the bushes."

Finally, although nothing ends up happening to her, I really like the scene with the gate guard.

Great attack on Vivsiana too. Love the punch to the solar plexus to knock the wind out of her and then a good old chop to the right spot on the neck to bash the right nerves and knock the pretty brunette out.

I also like the surprisingly sexy undies Gabriella was wearing.

Then love the scene of Gabriella starting to wake up and Camilla knocking her back out with the two temple punches. Rather rough on the poor woman which of course is why Allegra made the wonderful comment "“Always so gentle my love.”

I also really liked the idea of Allegra and Camilla kissing while standing over Vivianna's unconscious body.

Then we get another wonderful scene of having to knock a woman out a second time. Great comment from Allegra "“Buonasera sorella. Time for you to go back to sleep, my dear.” Then the way she moves Viviana's head to expose the right spot on her neck and then gives her yet another nexk chop.

That I did my friend, and rest assured there will more pretty Italian women who will be knocked out and donating their uniforms unwillingly in the next story!


Exactly, I think it's the least that their commanders can do for Alessia and Giulia after they set them up the first time. At least they won't be freezing their tits off on the eastern front, the poor dears.

Thanks, I thought it would be fun for our ill-fated sentries to reference their encounter with Liz and Susie which has obviously affected Alessia but Giulia just brushes it off as a one off. Yeah, like we've discussed build up is important and a fun part of any sentry takeout scene. It also underpins the detachment the infiltrators show towards the women, to them they just see uniforms and which one will fit whom.


I'am glad you liked Alessia and Giulia's takeout, I wanted to make it as super sexy as possible and really do their return justice. Wrapping their legs around the girls pins them in place and makes the sleeper hold much easier to implement and only hastens their knockout.


Indeed, to our partisans these sexy girls are just their enemies and now naked and bound, completely at their mercy. I think Claudia recognised, despite being straight, Alessia's natural elegance and beauty and choice in underwear. It's the ultimate of detachment, to treat the woman you just knocked at as an object you can just nudge with your foot.

Of course, despite being themselves lovers Allegra and Camilla couldn't help but be impressed at the beauty of Mussolini's bodyguards. And taking the opportunity to mix business with pleasure.

Cheers, it's another of my favourite sentry take out scenarios featuring two women. You have the two distracted by Allegra's owl impersonation, then Camilla strikes dragging off poor Gabriella while Viviana is completely oblivious to her plight. Despite her struggles, Gabriella was unable to get Viviana's attention and was unconscious before she got to the bushes.


Yeah, you can't go wrong with a good old fashioned punch to the solar plexus and neck chop finisher on that special bundle of nerves. Poor Viviana was unconscious before she hit the ground.


I have some head canon that Gabriella had a crush on Viviana and the sexy undies were for her. Of course you can imagine that Gabriella was surprised when she heard Viviana does have feelings for her, but they never got the chance to follow up. Hopefully, being tied up in their undies in the bushes might bring the ladies a step closer...


I have to admit that I love the idea of a stripped sentry waking up, only to be put to sleep with a swift punch or sleeper. Naturally, Camilla chose to be rather ungentle with poor Gabriella but this only turned Allegra on and they took the opportunity to express their affects by kissing over the stripped women. So sexy!

I couldn't resist doing it a second time with Viviana but showcasing Allegra's more professional approach and swiftly knocking Viviana out by exposing those sweet nerves in her neck. It shows the different contrast between the two women; Camilla is the rough and ready guerilla where her girlfriend is professional and exacting.


Me too, I wanted to showcase our girls using their disguises to first fool the dumb guards then distract them with small talk before finishing them off with the classic double headed bash. That's what I love about USB; it's not just about stealing the girls clothes but also using the disguises to their fullest.

I think Claudia was enjoying toying with Mussolini, making sure that he knew that he was now all alone and that it was she who was calling the shots. And she does have a point, after all his entire guard force was taken out in relatively sort order by a skilled party of infiltrators.


I think that the partisans would have indeed followed through with their threat and killed the gate guard had Mussolini tipped her off. The poor girl had no idea that she was all alone and that she was in so much danger. She would have only realised when her relief didn't show up. On the other hand, Claudia could have threatened Mussolini and called his bluff. After all the threat of violence rather than the inflicting of it is a great way to motivate your hostages.


That she was. For all the gate guard knew, this was all legitimate and Mussolini was just being moved early as a precaution. She had no reason to believe otherwise and the disguises worked.


Thanks my friend, I'am glad you loved the story! It was a pleasure to write.

It is funny that Allegra actually got turned on by watching Camilla knock Gabriella out rather roughly. Interesting. Also, it was interesting that Gianna made the comment “Man, that was so sexy boss” after Claudia did the head bash to the door guards. Some of these women seems to get turned on by watching their colleagues get rough with the other women.

Indeed you are probably correct. Had Mussolini tried to alert the gate guard the poor woman would have been in trouble.

Also, you raise and interesting point about the gate guard. At that point she was the only one not unconscious and tied up in the compound. It would have been quite easy to imagine that she might realize everyone was out of action soon after the team left and raise the alarm.

Perhaps the team should have considered knocking her out. One the team could have easily snuck up behind her as she was opening the gate and knocked her out. Or perhaps they could have taken her prisoner.

Oh and truly love the scene with Allegra using the neck chop to knock Viviana out a second time. Picturing her lining up her neck just right is so sexy. She lines it up so that she can get the chop on those oh so special nerves that will send a woman into unconsciousness.

And it was nice that Viviana had her dark brown hair in bun. Her neck and all those vulnerable nerves were easily accessible. And also let me say the way you described her as a classic Italian beauty with a nice athletic figure makes her sound like the kind of woman I like!

Indeed they do, in Gianna's case she admired both the technique employed by Claudia and the result of seeing the sexy guards slide unconscious to the floor in a heap of limbs. Plus, these girls are fascistas so seeing them get laid out in front of them is bound to be satisfying to the young guerilla, and the rougher, better.


Yep, while Claudia and her team made great effort to keep the women alive they wouldn't have hesitated to kill if it was needed. And with the stakes this high and Mussolini in their custody, the team couldn't afford to take any risks. Essentially, the life of the young gate guard was in Mussolini's hands.


Looking back, I agree that perhaps the team should have taken care of the gate guard to buy themselves as much time as possible. After all, in the next hour or so the gate guard even if she is a clueless drone would have sensed that something was off and that she was all alone. Thus raising the alarm. Still by the time that happened, the team would be back at camp and already called their army contacts to ship Mussolini off to Gran Sasso. After all, one more pretty Italian girl getting knocked out and tied up is not a bad thing. Although taking her prisoner would have an interesting plan, they get another uniform for use later and perhaps the woman might have known something useful.


Thanks, I'am glad you enjoyed that scene. I had a lot of fun writing Viviana's second knockout, making it just as sexy as the first time. Allegra straddles her, pinning her in place and clamps a hand on her mouth, easily controlling her and getting access to those special nerve clusters on Viviana's neck. One chop and it's back to sleepyland with her!

I definitely agree, it was very considerate for Viviana to have her pretty hair all tied up in that pun basically giving Allegra a clear shot at her vulnerable neck nerves. Thank you my friend, as you know I share your love of beautiful brunettes with slim athletic figures and you won't find sultry classical brunettes anywhere else save Italy. I just had to do Viviana justice and between her and Alessia, I don't know who's better looking! Honestly, I would take both.

The more I think about it the more I really like the scene with Francesca and Lucia. It is so well crafted. First off, you have two young, pretty Italian girls. I especially like the description of Lucia with her shoulder length curly hair and brown eyes.

And love them thinking hearing the sounds of Mussolini and his lover and giggling about it. Then we get them fooled to some degree by the uniforms but still cautious.

Then you can imagine when Claudia decided to give them a friendly smile and claim she is providing papers the women probably relax a bit. Then suddenly they feel their hands grabbed and before they can even wrap their brains around what is happened their heads are slammed together.

And boy that is a sexy image to imagine that they both fall back against the wall and slide to the floor.

Oh and one other thing I previously forgot to mention. Love that they left Viviana with her face in Gabriella's crotch.

I wonder how Francesca and Lucia were left?

Thanks, I'am glad to here that you loved Francesca and Lucia's scene I appreciate the compliment. With the story already having plenty of pretty Italian brunettes, I couldn't resist in having one more in the shape of Lucia. I have to admit there's something undeniably hot about a girl with shoulder length curls and big brown eyes. I'am pleased you liked her.


Yeah, that was an indication that while they both dedicated young guards their attention was waning, thinking about Mussolini and his mistress. When Claudia and the team turned up, I wanted to represent the fact that these two while clearly fooled and ultimately clueless, where at least trying to make an effort in doing their jobs.

Of course, as you rightly point out the guards relax a little when Claudia puts them at ease by appearing to follow through with their request. Of course they get a lot more than they bargained for and are completely caught off guard, completely unable to process what's happening when Claudia slams their heads together.

I can't argue with that, my friend. Is there anything more sexy than the mental image of two brunette cuties sliding down the wall, unconscious. At the same time?


No worries, that was an easter egg referencing how Alessia and Giulia were found during the Spear of Destiny. I'am glad you liked it. Perhaps given their crush on each other, I don't think Viviana and Gabriella would mind too much.


Well, I have it on good authority that Francesca and Lucia were both found taped up curled up in a nearby broom cupboard. Sleeping quite cosily I might add.

I think that is one of the things that makes the "bang their heads together" scenes so much fun. The move has to be so quick they probably don't even have time to brace themselves. The women's heads hit with enough force to knock them both unconscious.

It is a bit of a nasty move. After all, you have to assume the women will end up both having concussions.

Indeed, and especially when like Lucia and Francesca they are relaxed, caught off guard by Claudia's small talk. That makes Claudia's task easier, she reacts quickly before both women can brace themselves. It's all about the timing; too soon and the women may not knocked out, too late and the women can brace themselves, the element of surprise is lost.

Undoubtedly, Lucia and Francesca will probably have more than just a headache most likely minor concussions and will take a little longer to wake up, thanks to the potential for head injuries. It may be a nasty move but it's efficient for taking down two sentries quickly and overtly without raising suspicions.
