Otto Skorzeny

Otto Skorzeny was an Austrian SS officer during World War II, known for his daring and unconventional operations. He led bold missions, including the rescue of Italian dictator Benito Mussolini from captivity and attempts to sabotage Allied efforts. Skilled in covert actions and psychological warfare, Skorzeny became a symbol of Nazi special operations.
