Description
Described by the Allied forces during World War II as "the most dangerous man in Europe", the German maverick soldier Otto Skorzeny was the creator of many of the tactics later employed by the SAS. This account tells how he became world famous overnight when, with a glider borne attack he rescued Mussolini from the mountain prison of Gran Sasso. It also recounts his infiltration of American forces during the Battle of the Bulge.
