US Army replaces cake it stole from Italian girl in 1945
The US Army has given a birthday cake to an Italian woman - to replace one that American soldiers stole from her as it cooled by a window 77 years ago.

Meri Mion - who turns 90 on Friday - was 13 when her village of San Pietro, near Vicenza, saw fighting between US troops and German soldiers.

Her mother made her a birthday cake, but it was taken by the opportunistic - and presumably hungry - Americans.

Ms Mion said she would share the replacement cake with her relatives.

"We will eat that dessert with all my family, remembering this wonderful day that I will never forget," she said.
