Same year, same lacustrine body disposal

Changed to GIs so that the revenge follow-up could involve the Mafia,
leading to the aptonym Tony Jaguar chiming with DiPresso’s Jaguar
automobile? (“…that XKE I bought while temporarily insane”)


Lake Maggiore - this article seems to indicate the 43 victims were
“partisans” (in addition to hundreds of Jews killed)

“To memorialize their lives and deaths, the Casa della Resistenza and Parco
della Memoria e della Pace were established. The Park dedicated to
Remembrance and Peace is located on the site of a horrible reprisal
massacre, with a memorial erected on the spot that 43 partisan fighters
were executed by the German Nazi occupying forces on June 20, 1944. In
addition, a commemorative stone is inscribed with the names of 1200 Jews of
this province who were killed by the Nazis. A granite urn contains ashes
from the extermination camp of Mauthausen. And a monument lists partisans
who were taken prisoner, refusing to surrender to the fascists. A copper
sculpture was erected by the local partisan themselves following the war,
in thanks to the Russian partisans who joined their ranks in international
unity against Nazi-fascism.”
