I didn't think to Edmund Glaise von Horstenau. However the episode was very popular and much debated.G.

Received the gold military medal (to the memory) because he was a military chaplain, blessed the firing squad that was going to kill him. The film, that was filmed in 1945, is part of a war trilogy made by the same director: the first movie (the target) is about the resistance, the second narrated 6 episodes during the war in Italy, the third is about the post war devastated Germany. The film is one of the posters of a new cultural movement born in Italy in that period, expression of a completely different way from the past in shooting the movies.

All takes place in Rome, the person in question was arrested by the Gestapo and imprisoned in Regina Coeli (the prison of Rome). Was shot in April 3, 1944.
Re: The official AHF Resistance Movements quiz thread
The person was don Giuseppe Morosini, the movie was Rome Open City, by Rossellini, the first of his italian neorealist trilogy with Paisà and Germania year Zero.

As there have been no guesses for two days, here are some clues:
One driver was English, the other French. They both drove Bugattis, and they both won the French Grand Prix.
