Skorzeny's bravery and élan was so admired by the Allied special forces that they intervened when he was on trial at the end of the war and was expected to be executed for getting his men to wear enemy uniforms, mainly at th Battle of the Bulge. The SAS made it known that they themselves had done similar things and that Skorzeny had not broken any convention doing so. He was spared and later was rumoured to have lead Odessa, the Nazi escape programme that transported Nazis to Argentina and Spain after the war. He was quite a guy, and had he been on our side, would have been the wars greatest hero.
