Skorzeny's Special Missions: The Memoirs of Otto Skorzeny

Otto Skorzeny won his Iron Cross via Yugoslavia and Russia during 1942. After that, he became a pest to the allied forces., popping up where least expected, and causing grief in his own special way. Skorzeny was Hitler's first choice to launch the daring rescue of Mussolini who was being held prisoner in the mountain hotel of Albergo Campo Imperatore. Skorzeny and his men carried off a stunning mountain top landing by Glider, and snatched the Italian from under the noses of his captors. Skorzeny was soon labelled as the 'Most dangerous Man in Europe'., and was still up to his tricks in the Ardennes offensive when, with captured Sherman tanks, and disguised as American troops, he spread chaos and confusion amongst the bewildered US forces.
