SS-Obersturmbannführer Otto Skorzeny (12 June 1908 - 5 July 1975) was
an extraordinary military man who specialized in guerrilla warfare and
commando-style raids during World War II. He mounted numerous operations
with varying degrees of success that involved either the rescue,
kidnapping, assassination, or defense of numerous wartime leaders in
Europe. As a result, he became Hitler’s favorite commando and dubbed “the most dangerous man in Europe” by the Allies.
Skorzeny certainly looked the part. He was an imposing figure at 6’ 4”
that sported a deep scar on his left cheek from a fencing duel. Though
loyal to Hitler and a staunch Austrian Nazi, Skorzeny would ultimately
turn on his former compatriots and become a hitman for Israel at the end
of the war.Source :
