Synopsis
An account, based on personal interviews with the author, of one of the half-dozen pioneers of special forces. Otto Skorzeny, Chief of Germany's Special Troops, became famous overnight when, with a daring glider-borne attack, he rescued Mussolini from the mountain prison of Gran Sasso. One of his subsequent exploits included the infiltration of troops disguised in American uniforms behind Allied lines during the Battle of the Bulge. When he was brought to trial at Nuremberg, Skorzeny was denounced by the Allied Chief Prosecutor as "the most dangerous man in Europe". On the testimony of Allied officers, he was acquitted.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Softcover. Condition: Fine. Abnutzung / Risse - leicht; Vergilbt / ausgeblichen. He was Hitler's favorite commando - and a frightening menace to the Allied forces. With a handful of German Special Troops, Otto Skorzeny performed the impossible by snatching Mussolini from an "impenetrable" mountain. He astounded the world and gave a brilliant demonstration of the new warfare, which extends beyond the lines of battle beyond the lines of battle beyond even the "rules of war". Here is the inside story of the abduction of Horthy from Budapest, the "disguised brigade" behind American lines in the Ardennes, the destruction of the Nymegan bridge, and the incredible rescue of the "doomed" German division in the Balkans. Here is the complete and astounding saga of Skorzeny, the greatest adventurer of World War II. Seller Inventory # c8aa655b-1d1e-4cd5-aa56-ec65fc81c128
