Mussolini had his grown children baptized and his marriage recognized by the church. Had a leading role in the implementation of the final solution of the jewish question in territories conquered by nazi germany. Sentenced to life imprisonment for allegedly having communicated french military secrets to the german embassy in paris, dreyfus was sent to the penal colony at devil"s island in french guiana, where he spent almost five years. Two years after sentence, in 1896, evidence came to light identifying a french army major named ferdinand walsin esterhazy as the real culprit. After high-ranking military officials suppressed the new evidence, a military court unanimously acquitted esterhazy after the second day of his trial.
