The correct answers are A) Mussolini and B) Hitler.
The two men who headed the Axis Powers of Germany and Italy in World War II were Mussolini and Hitler.
During World War II, the two men that headed the Axis Power were Italian leader Benito Mussolini and German leader Adolph Hitler. The relationship between these two strong leaders was not an easy one and had its ups and downs. It was not friendship but war-related relationship to defend the political and economic interests of these countries in the war. Italy and Germany were military allies since 1930, and three years later, when Hitler became the leader of Germany, Mussolini publicly applauded and congratulated the German Führer.
