Skorzeny didn´t deserve the Knight's Cross!!! His Knight's Cross is a shame for Germanys true war heroes! It was the paratroopers who rescue Mussolini. Skorzeny is pure proganda - nothing else! Skorzeny is the biggest fake hero of all times!
@endomedico: Which means ... that MOST of the "native German" population is of Alpine NOT Northern European stock ie, Aryan "breeding" not prevelant in two countries, especially among eg, Hitler himself & MANY of his brood; they openly displayed -- unwittingly -- "pigeon toe gait": genetic legacy | DNA genetic profile ... witnessed in eg, Far East Asia to a lesser extent, and to a great extent among Khazars et al Eastern Mediterraneans & Black dwellers (high density): go figure!
@Rico8458: NO, his features clearly display a presiding semitic overlay -- there you go. What's more ...so-called "Aryan" Nazi's -- most Germans never qualified for that status, as most Germans are native Alpine stock, not Northern European ie, Scandinavian stock {Harvard University sociology and anthropology departments' archives, re racial ethnographic studies of c.1903-1913} -- ie, Hitler's brood displayed eg, tell-tale "pigeon-toe gait": you WILL NOT read elsewhere: FYI: look!
he was a hard case! did his duty, as hard as he could. a real soldier. after researching skorzeny i have never found anything regarding brutality to civilians or other persecuted people during the nazi era, attributed to him. a hard man, who gave no quarter, and expected none.
He had a rather famous mistress from Spain "Evita", When they made the movie about Evita starring madonna they omitted that part of her life. Sad very sad.
Helmfer... He's surly, a clod, a sour little envious turd, just attractive enough for John Wayne Gacy's thrills. I would like to see Anti-Fuuuuuuuh's do some saber-mensur and take a schmiss to the face like that without pissing their pants and fainting. Have a nice day. :)
@88Thyra Totally have to agree with your statement. He may have belonged to the SS, but truly wished to be a fighter pilot. He used that same spirit fighting on the ground. Deserving of tribute.
Skorzeny basically was a highly overrated propaganda "SS star", who's main skill was self-promotion and opportunism. A number of the more spectacular operations was repainted by Himmler and Goebbels as “SS missions” starring Skorzeny. As a dedicated SS officer he had particularly strong personal commitment to Nazi ideology and racial purity. he knew exactly what was going on in the death camps, he did not only lack nobility and honor to oppose that, but downright idolized it.
Skorzeny basically was a highly overrated propaganda "SS star", who's main skill was self-promotion and opportunism.

Skorzeny knew exactly what was going on in the death camps, he did not only lack nobility and honor to oppose it, he idolized it.
I cannot believe! How should I understand these nazi crosses and badge with diamonds close-up at the end of movie? That's nazi propaganda. Shame on you. Reported as inappropriate.
@MrStewart149 - but they were looking for the evidence of his crimes and failed to find anything. Definitely he was a Nazist, which means he accepted an inhumane ideology, but there is no proof that he committed war crimes, at least those punishable by death.
@OlenkaWagner wrong he was in command of the infiltration units who used allied uniforms during the last german offensive in the west and was also in command of the short lived werewolf units [ a nazi resistance movement ] after the war . both were war crimes and punishable by death .
@MrStewart149 - using the uniforms of the other side punishable by death? Aren't you exaggereting? Resistance movement is a part of war, too. War crimes are something like killing civilians, killing prisoners, etc. It was not proven that he committed any of such crimes. Of course, moral assessment of him as an admirer of nazism is something else, but we are talking on legal aspects only.
@OlenkaWagner Punishable by death? Well, as a matter of *fact* German soldiers captured wearing US uniforms during the Battle of the Bulge were shot the same day.
@OlenkaWagner Soldiers fighting out of uniform (or wearing the other side's uniform) are liable to be summarily executed. Geneva Convention only applies to combatants in uniform. That's the fact, Jack.
@kentamitchell - Quote from Wiki: "Skorzeny admitted to ordering his men to wear American uniforms. On the final day of the trial, 9 September, Wing Commander F. F. E. Yeo-Thomas, recipient of the George Cross and the Croix de guerre, and a former British Special Operations Executive agent, testified that he had worn German uniforms behind enemy lines. Realising that to convict Skorzeny could expose their own agent to the same charges, the tribunal acquitted the ten defendants,"
@kentamitchell But once they return to their lines and put their own uniforms on, that no longer applies. He was a spy and saboteur, and were many American and British soldiers. In itself, not a war crime punishable after the conflict ends.

Viele, von die sie weit von seinem Land gestorben sind, haben durch den Mob von gestern heute zurückgerufenen gemacht nicht vergisst durch uns abgelehnt. Ich zu qui in Argemtina, besuche die Grabstätte von den Capitan Landorf
@rioyaque99 no.. its not, its a country of its own that germany conquered in ww2 because hitler believed it was part of ''Anschluss''. Just because he fought with germany doesn't ,make him a german.. he's still austrian born and raised..
@Justinn263 it is clearly evident, my dear justin, that you have been neglecting your european and WW2 history lessons. austria is a german state prohibited by international treaties from joining the german republic. i need to make very clear that the present sentiments of the citizens of austria is not fro unification . however, between the 2 world wars there a strong popular sentiment for union based common ethnicity, culture as well as on economic grounds. please read-there are many matter.
This is the best YouTube tribute to Skorzeny I've seen. What a remarkable and interesting man who performed his duties with courage and as a gentleman. The music is very appropriate and I commend whoever picked it. A movie of Skorzeny's life would great. Unfortunately, most people don't know who he is and few have an interest in history.
@Kuno266 Nein, ich habe mich informiert! Holocaust = 99 % Propagandalügen! Du hast dich nicht informiert. Aber ich weiss, der Lehrer hat gesagt. Und im Fernsehen hats geheissen. Und in der Zeitung stand. Und mein Onkel sagt. Ja, ja.
Wohl nicht ganz! Es gibt darüber eine sehr ausführliche Bachelor Arbeit.
Diese wurde gerade geschrieben,weil so viele unterschiedliche Meinungen geäußert wurden und werden.Was der Lehrer und das Fernsehen sagt, war dabei total uninteressant. Gerade die wurden sehr unter die Lupe genommen.Skorzeny ist nun mal in Wien geboren und hatte einen Großindustriellen zum Schwiegervater.
@Kuno266 Der Holocaust hat doch nicht mit Skorzeny zu tun. Also, wenn wir uns schon über den Geburtsort von Skorzeny streiten... Natürlich war er Österreicher, aber Volksangehöriger des Deutschen Volkes.
Wir müssen uns nicht über den Geburtsort von Skorzeny streiten, er war Österreicher.Adolf hat viele seiner Landsleute in Position gebracht! Schon dein erster Satz läßt mich schaudern, lern erst mal Geschichte!!!!!!

The fact is there's something very captivating about Skorzeny.
He's tall, smiling, adventurous, brave and good-living.
Just enough to fascinate those aloof to nazi crimes.

People who think off him being a great man, didn't learn anything from history.
He was the person responsible for escaping the worst SS-killers of the third Reich.
SS always thought off themselves as the so called "Herren-volk", but in fact the dispized soldiers from the Wehrmacht and also the German people.
Odessa is the proof that they were only concerned with their own existance.They were as crazy as their own leader,Adolf Hitler.
