He revealed in his television series "Whicker's War" (2004) that he was one of the first in the Allied forces to enter Milan and that he took into custody an SS general and troopers who were guarding the SS's paymaster's payroll money that was used to pay the SS troops, along with large amounts of cash in foreign currency, all contained within a large trunk. Whicker later handed over the SS men and the trunk of cash to the commander of an advancing US armoured column. Whicker also shot footage of the body of Benito Mussolini.
