He was stupid enought to send his best men ,dressed in American uniforms,speaking lauzy Eanglish,to infiltrate in the US army during the battle of the Arddenes. Only few of them were not shoot.

Stupid or not stupid, the move created enough havoc and suspicion in the rear of the American lines. Even Eisenhower wrote in his memories that at the check points the soldiers annoyed the officers with endless checking to see if they are "real". I do not remember from the "Crusade in Europe" if Eisenhower himself had such an experience.

Also the regular German paratroopers (not SS) had many missions in the rear of the American lines, but I forgot if they wore their real uniforms.

His only real achivment was the Mussolini case. I red his memoirs (If you can call this a "research"). Nothing was grandios there. I call a hero ,a man like Rudel,Wittman or Gunther Lutzow. They all did the fighting by themself.

You're wrong...

Osvobozhdenie - and Florin Piersic played Skorzeny.

He has indeed his 15 minutes of glory as they played really nice the Mussolini rescue operation.

A Soviet information officer (after he defected or emigrated in the western world ), in his memories, claims that was an intoxication, as the Germans were captured really fast but a fake radio cooperation was maintained in order to make the German FHO and Abwehr to spend their already scarce resources by chasing wild geese! I tend to believe the Soviet officer - I cannot remember his exact name right now, but I've read his memories some ten years ago. -------------------- M

His most stupid action was to send his man on the eastern front to rescue an unit who was fighting behind the russians lines / in fact it was an soviet trap :blbl:

I said that five years ago
