  • Operation Greif and the Trial of the “Most Dangerous Man in Europe.”
    Operation Greif and the Trial of the “Most Dangerous Man in Europe.” A disheveled George S. Patton reported to Dwight Eisenhower with unsettling news from the front. “Ike, I’ve never seen such a goddamn foul-up! The Krauts are infiltrating behind our lines, raising hell, cutting wires and turning around road signs!”1 Such was the characteristic response in the aftermath of Operation Greif, orchestrated by Germany’s top commando, Otto Skorzeny. Through his actions during the Ardennes Offensive of 1944, and his acquittal while on trial, Skorzeny effectively utilized disinformation and covert operations to both earn his credibility and infamous reputation. Born in Vienna in 1908, Skorzeny led a mundane life during the years of the First World War. Despite his inability to concentrate on his studies, he managed to graduate in 1931 from the Technischen Hochschule in Wien with an engineering degree.2 His participation in the Schlagende Verbindungen (dueling societies) during his academic career gave Skorzeny the reputation of being a fierce fighter and resulted in his characteristic scars that covered both sides of his face. With the unification of Austria into Germany in 1938, Skorzeny had his first contact with the Nazi party. While visiting Vienna, he came upon Austrian President Miklas in the midst of an attempt on his life by Nazi roughnecks. Skorzeny, always a man of action, blocked the way of the would-be assassins and ended the confrontation. Word spread across the Germany of the bold Austrian who had saved the President’s life on a whim. 1 Glenn B Infield, Skorzeny (New York: St.

A. al-Husseini, Mufti von Jerusalem, 1943 bewundernd in Berlin) Seit den Terrorakten gegen die USA wird über mögliche Vernetzungen zwi- schen deutschsprachigen Rechtsextremisten und islamistischen Fundamentalis- ten spekuliert. Denn die von klerikalfaschistischen Islamisten verursachten Ter- rorszenarien in New York und Washington könnten in ihrer Dramaturgie auch einem braunen Drehbuch entstammen. New York „in Schutt und Asche legen“ wollte kurz vor dem Ende der NS- Herrschaft Reichsführer SS Heinrich Himmler. „Die Amerikaner“, so Himmler, „müssen auch etwas vom Krieg zu spüren bekommen.“ Der „psychologische Effekt wäre enorm. Ich bin überzeugt, dass es die Amerikaner nicht ertragen könnten, in ihrem eigenen Land angegriffen zu werden.“ Adolf Hitler selbst fällte im März 1941 die Bemerkung, man müsse mit Terrorangriffen auf ameri- kanische Millionenstädte „den Juden“ eine „Lektion“ erteilen. Und gegenüber Albert Speer malte er „wie in einem Delirium sich und uns den Untergang New Yorks in Flammenstürmen“ aus. Antisemitische Vernichtungsphantasien 47 Jahre später lässt der Hitler-Verehrer William L.

    September, 2015 A Message from your US Section President: I am so pleased to have this opportunity to be your US Section ICC President for the 2015 – 2016 Rotary year. My pledge to you is to continue the work of President Jon Eiche to grow ICC in the US and to encourage as many per‐ sonal interactions as possible between our Russian and US Rotarians. One major change is that we now have two Presidents, a US Section and a Russian Section, PDG Ev‐ genia Terekhova District 2225. PDG Evgenia is also the overall President for the 2015 – 2016 Rotary year. The overall President will alternate between the US and Russia.

It is the responsibility of each representative to keep their respec‐ tive districts updated as to the many opportunities to interact with our Russian and US Rotarians. ICC is truly a collaborative opportunity for all of us to meet and work together to grow relationships between our districts and countries. We have just completed a successful Friendship Exchange between District 2220 and the US ICC. We are now in the planning stages of preparing to host our Russian Rotarians. We encourage Districts to plan individual Friendship Exchanges, the first being the “Texas Two Step” exchange in November. Con‐ gratulations Texas! The Open World and Watch and Learn programs are also high on our list of priori‐ ties. We will continue to promote and support these opportunities for leadership development and cultural exchanges.

INTRODUCTION Prior to the trial, by an American military commission entitled "Military Government Court,"' of Otto Skorzeny and his codefendants,2 which trial took place in Dachau between August 18 and September 8, 1947, and ended with an acquittal of all the defendants, the international law on legitimacy or illegitimacy of the use of enemy uniforms as a stratagem was not settled in so far as use outside open combat was con- cerned, as will be later on discussed at some length. One writer has expressed the view that the outcome of that trial supports the view "that such deception is permissible if not done in battle."8 However, this is not necessarily so.

  • Otto Skorzeny: the Scar-Faced Commando
    Otto Skorzeny: The Scar-Faced Commando Rob Vest Few in the Third Reich cut as colorful a figure as Otto Skorzeny, Hitler's favorite commando. At one time considered "the most dangerous man in Europe," by the Allies, Skorzeny was responsible for rescuing Benito Mussolini from a mountaintop resort in Italy, kidnaping the son of Hungarian regent Miklos Horthy, wreaking havoc at the Battle of the Bulge, and preventing Supreme Allied Commander Dwight D Eisenhower from leaving his headquarters in Versailles during Christmas week of 1944 for fear of an alleged assassination plot. At the end of the war, Skorzeny surrendered to the Allies, but was only interned for a few years before managing to escape. Skorzeny's post-war exploits rivaled, and in many ways, surpassed his accomplishments during wartime. He was courted during the Cold War by both the Americans and the Soviets, served as an advisor in the Peron government in Argentina, and helped to relocate and protect several of his fellow Nazis. Skorzeny also developed terrorist tactics used to this day by organizations as diverse as the IRA, PLO, and the Symbionese Liberation Army. This paper will provide a brief overview of Otto Skorzeny's life before, during, and after World War II. The Making of Scarface The man who would one day be celebrated as the greatest adventurer of the Third Reich came from a rather unexceptional background. Otto Skorzeny was born June 12, 1908, in Vienna, Austria. Otto's father owned a successful engineering firm, and the family lived quite comfortably until the depression that ravished Austria at the end of World War I.

  • Otto Wallburg
    Otto Wallburg Otto Wallburg (21 February 1889 – 29 October 1944) was a German actor and Kabarett performer. He was a prolific film actor during the late silent and early sound era. Wallburg was born Otto Maximilian Wasserzug in Berlin, the son of a Jewish banker. He drifted into stage acting and served in the German Army during the First World War and was wounded on the Eastern Front after winning an Iron Cross. From 1926 onwards he worked in the large German film industry, including many productions made by UFA. When the Nazis came to power in 1933 he left Germany and moved to Austria where he continued to work in film. He later moved to France and then on to the Netherlands. He was arrested following the 1940 German invasion of the Netherlands. He was held for a while at Westerbork transit camp, and later moved to Auschwitz where he was murdered. Whilst in The Netherlands he took part in Willy Rosen’s Cabarets performed by The Prominenten. Jews from all over Europe came to perform, some of those before moving on to the United States and freedom. Her appeared in “Cocktail” and “Hinter den Kulissen”, at the Lutine Palace. He received second billing after Siegfried Arno and before Willy Rosen, in the Fourth Season in 1937 of the Gastspiel of The Prominenten. In 1942 he appeared in Vuurwerk on 20th June. He found his circumstances difficult and spent much of his time in hospital or with his family. In 1939 he and his wife divorced, as did many Jews.
