The rescue of Benito Mussolini, the deposed dictator of Italy, from imprisonment in a remote mountain-top hotel on September 12th, 1943, by German special forces was one of the most spectacular raids of World War 2. It was also a raid by one of the war's most flamboyant raiders - Otto Skorzeny - whose exploits made him notorious as "the most dangerous man in Europe".
