Not just stuff he did in the Battle of the Bulge, but also other operations that he was involved in. Thanks Toey

I believe he was also involved in setting up the training program for the Werwolf Resistance Groups...

Was consulted by Gen Salan and the plotters of the 1961 Algiers putsch. Gave non-committal answers and declined to have anything to do with it because "Generals do not make good plotters" Wolves in the City Paul Henissart troopie ------------------ Pamwe Chete

Status: offline 		The Osprey Elite series has an interesting (and inexpensive) book on Skorzeny. "Ardennes, 1944 Pieper and Skorzeny" by Jean-Paul Pallud and Ron Volstad You'll find some fascinating reading there. The History Channel recently had a special on his special forces and their exploits during the war.
