Mossad veterans have claimed a former senior Nazi SS officer worked for Israel as an assassin after the war.
One of Adolf Hitler’s favourite soldiers and a recipient of the Knight’s Cross of the Iron Cross, Otto Skorzeny was allegedly recruited by Israel.
Insiders said Skorzeny, who once rescued Benito Mussolini from a group of Italians trying to kill him, realised he could only save himself from being tracked down by Mossad by defecting to work for the Israeli secret service.
One of his victims is thought to have been Heinz Krug, a Nazi scientist who aided Egypt’s missile programme in the 1960s.
