Galland, Molders and Marseille all worthy of respect as honourable fighting men,
Skorzeny not so much, I have served with men who much like this fellow had Psycotic tendencies, I always gave them a wide berth because they would more than likely take chances with your life to advance their future![]()
Enjoy this place and do ask lots of questions.
Germany at that time was full of people like Skorzeny and far worse, I wonder what kind of people a new major conflict would throw up today. My admiration was based on his exploits freeing Mussolini from the Alpine Redoubt.
I remember my Father had a vehement hatred of the Feldgendarmerie (headhunters) with whom he had more than one altercation with. He too had a dislike of any Officer that risked the lives of his men without very good reason, he really did not like gong collectors.
