DACHAU,, GERMANY. -~Aceord
t to a story told here three years,the. death of Mussolini, a romantic Italian mérchant who
thought he was only-playing Cupid;
helped Hitler rescue Mussolini. The
story ~came from thé prison cell of
S.S. Et..Col. Otto Skorzeny,. giant
paratroopet, whose féats made him
the most publicized German soldier of the war. Skorzeny wrote a

42-page account of his abduction of |

fl Duce on Hitlet~s orders.

Meeting. the press in advance of | outright slavety case under

his trial on charges of violating the.

laws of war, Skorzeny. also denied | United States
he had ever tried to kidnap General. | 1880, camé to

of the Army Dwight D. Eisenhower. '
But he said he snatched Hungary~s
Adm. Nicholas. Horthy from the advancing Russians.

Skorenzy~s personal account of his
capture 6f MuSsolini after a crash

is a lutid tale of derring-do.

~He (Hitler) informed me,~ said
Skorzeny, ~~~that he was firmly resolved not to leave his friend, Mussolini, in the lurch and to prevent
under. all circumstances his extradition to the Allies. Mussolini was
for him not only an ally but he: also
~alled him his one and only great
friend, ~the last of the ancient Ro
' mans of the Caesarian tradition.~ ~

Searched Four Months.
Under Gen. Kurt Student, the S.S:
colonel said, he set out with a staff
of five to find the Duce, well-hidden

by the Badoglio government, Skor~| zeny ~coured Italy for four. months.

In September, he heatd Mussolini
might be held in the Appenines neat
Gran Sasso, He spoke to an Italian
merciant:

~I invented a girl friend trom
Rome who had fied in fear of Allied
bomb attacks and begged him to
help me send her.a love letter. The
Italian informed me that the Gran
Sasso valley was entite cordoned
off and that the resort hotel evict
of access was out of bounds to ail
traffic.~ ~

The man, still anxious to try to
deliver the ~~love letter,~ reported
to Skorzeny later a rumor that all
the secrecy had something to do
with Mussolini.

Skofzeny prepared 12 gliders,
each with nine men,.and, took, off
for the 6,000-foot aerie, The Set

ey

twa ctashed almost ~as soon as
took off.

Behind a cloud park th others
dived ~ on. the ~, mountain a. one
landed 50 feet from the hotel, rm
Italian guards were too sutptised
act, an
ed without resistance.~~

~I reported to Mussolini: ~Duce,
the Fuehrer has sent me as a token
of his loyal friendship.~ Mussolini
embraced me ahd assured that he
had daily expected his: extradition
to the Alfies but that he would have
put an end to his life beforehand.~

Some Confusion.

Skorzeny decided to take off from
an improvised: field in a Storch

Bers.

~~We almost reached the brink of
a cliff when a ditch suddenly cut
straight across our path, We hopped
over the ditch and coasted~ over the
brink. After a drop of perhaps:1, 000
teet the pilot succeeded in gaining
control. The plane flew over th
valley just above the ground.~

In Patica de Mare, they trans:
ferred to Luftwaffe transports and
few to Vienna, thence to Hitler~s
headquarters.

Skorzeny went on trial with eight
of his fellow S.S. men charged with
using American unifotms in efforts
to spread confusion behind the Allied front lines. He says he never
did that mission~that his only. mission was to charge through retreating U. S. troops in order to blaat the
bridges across the Meuse and cut
off escape. e

In the wild confusion of the Ardennes ~~bulge~ all sorts of rumors
about Skorzeny~s corps cropped up;
including the story that he aimed
fer General Eisenhower~s personal
headquarters.;

~We never got close enough even
to consider it,~ he said wryly.
