How a Nazi became an assassin for Israel
Lieutenant Colonel Otto Skorzeny was a former SS officer dubbed "the most dangerous man in Europe" by British and American intelligence.
Known as 'Hitler's commando' he took part in the rescue of the ousted Italian dictator Benito Mussolini and sowed chaos behind allied lines during the Battle of the Bulge.
But a book has revealed that after the war Skorzeny became an assassin for Mossad, the Israeli intelligence agency.
Dan Raviv is one of the co-authors.
