How did a Nazi Officer become a Mossad Hitman?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 лип 2024
- In the 1960s, Israel's Mossad hired a former (and unapologetic) Nazi assassin to prevent Egypt from developing a missile program with the help of former Nazi scientists. This sensitive operation required the help of expert in psychological warfare and Mossad agent, Yosef Raanan.
Raanan supervised the operation to recruit former WW2 Nazi SS Lieutenant Colonel Otto Skorzeny, because of his personal connection to German scientists working on Egypt's missile program. But the recruitment of a Nazi who showed no remorse for his actions required caution, wile, and moral compromise. Although Israel was hesitant to work with a former Nazi, ultimately, Skorzeny’s insider knowledge was critical to successfully stopping a major threat to Israeli national security.

nobody cares about jews
This is one of the craziest post war stories I've ever heard! This deserves to made into a feature length movie.
Oh yeah , for sure , and I hope very soon
hg
Do not trust what they tell... I visited their country in 1982 and they separated me from the rest of the people arriving in Tel Aviv and placed me with the Arabs arriving in their country and FORCEFULLY STRIPPED US COMPLETELY NAKED!!!! Not for one, two or three minutes but above 30 minutes naked in a line one by one to answer their laughs and questions. After six hours I was finally let go! But they prevented me from exiting the Ben Gurion Airport w/out again having to open the trunk of the car I rented and my luggage! They do all these not for Security but to laugh and mock innocent visitors. I was supposed to receive a three months training at The University of Rehovot through a scholarship. I visited JERUSALEM to have a glimpse and The Dead Sea but my car with BLUE PLATES was not allowed; just the YELLOW PLATES could enter so I DROVE BACK TO TAKE A PLANE BACK HOME...Lost the scholarship and above all; LOST MY JOB AND MY CAREER AND MY DESTINY!!! I started a new endeavor I was not trained for. Now; do their abuses and mistreatment provide me with the right to response by doing the same to others? Not to me. But they believe they do. Actually; they firmly believe they are SUPERIOR to us... GOYIM! Same as Hitler. My apologies. Thanks.
Meh (little known) FUN FACT: MORE than 100,000 jews served in NAZI ranks. "Politics makes for STRANGE bedfellows."
SKORZENY WAS JUST AN HONORABLE SOLDIER HE NEVER KILLED INNOCENT CIVILIANS OR JEWS DURING THE WAR . HE FOUGHT FOR GERMANY BUT YOU MUST SEE THERE IS A DIFFERENCE
Morals are rules for survival. Normally, they dictate not doing or cooperating with evil, but surviving takes precedence. Using Skorzeny was more important than punishing him.
Lol you fell for this White Supremacist's videos?? So I guess he'll have to now make a video as to why Putin's mother is listed as Jewish on his birth certificate, why Zelensky's men wear Swastikaz on their uniforms and tanks, why Hitler's grandmother was jewish on his mother's side, why Joseph Stalin changed his name from Yosef Dzhugashvili (Joseph, Son of Judah) and spoke perfect Yiddish, or why KKKARL MARX was reared in a private Jesuit school...
They're all White Supremacist Khazarian Kommunist Klan members masquerading as AshkeNAZIs to exploit the Gentile proletariat for their labor.
MESSAGE TO WHITE SUPREMACIST KHAZARIAN KOMMUNIST KLAN: GENTILES ARE WAKING UP
Your ideology is mess up
If morals are rules for survival as you say then you are saying the end justifies the means but isn’t that just the same thinking that created Otto and the Nazis in first place
@@burtonkephart6239 The Jewish Rothschilds funded Hitler's entire campaign and rise to power. Hitler's grandmother is jewish on his mother's side. Germany was in massive debt to the Banking Khazars from WW1, which the Khazars themselves orchestrated. Once Hitler became the nation's leader and was in a position to make national decisions, the Rothschilds told him to adopt their Central Bank Fiat Currency made of paper. This required Hitler to make a very critical decision of handing over all of Germany's gold in exchange for the Khazar Kommunist Kurrency. The Khazarian Rothschilds told him if he did not, they would call in the debts of both Hitler personally, and Germany's national debt. At that point Hitler knew he had been setup by the old Khazarian Scheme and he said F-off. That's when the fictional "Hitler" was created By Wash Post, NYT, etc (All Khazarian owned).
In the Khazarian Scheme to bankrupt Hitler, Germany, and get their own State as a form of legal damages (Izzrael), they conned 85 MILLION GENTILE MOTHERS into seeing their sons for the last time. To the Khazar, 85,000,000 Gentile lives is no consideration whatsoever. It does not factor in at all. The Sociopathic psychology behind the fraudulent WW2 is the same psychology of the Khazarian Sackler family, who engineered the Opioid Epidemic on their Gentile Prey.
WW2 was a Genocide, just not the way it is taught in the Khazarian Kontrolled Hizstory books.
Hmmm this really makes me think about how I behave and why and also why he betrayed the Reich. Now we have to deal with billions being sent to Israel every year and our countries all being flooded with foreigners while we die in stupid wars orchestrated by jews (Putin and Zelensky are both Jewish).
This needs to be turned into a movie or a mini series.
I would absolutely watch that and buy the boxed set
Ive been saying this for years. One of my mates is a director and I brought it to his attention
@@da3v1ls93 and? Did he think he can do something with it?
Nothing is as disturbing as a keenly intelligent person with both a powerful work ethic and no morals at all. This short video will likely stay with me for quite some time.
Who says he had no morals? Did you read his book?
@@rosesprog1722 Obviously you dident watch the video at all, its stated in the video. The psychologists that Mossad brought in to try to get a understanding of him. That was what they determined. 6:29 minute mark if you need further guidance to find where in the video it states that. Since its evidently clear you dident watch it.
Why not mention that Skorzeny & Ernst Kaltenbrunner saved some Austrian politicians lives when there was an attempted coup before the Anschluss……
@@GuyIncognito-mw8mr Uh...probably because the first I heard of it was your comment? 😉 Seriously, I need to look that up. Thank you.
My grandmother has a photograph of my grandfather with others soldiers from WW2 and this man is in the picture too. I don't know if my grandfather knew him personally or if he just happened to be there. My grandfather never talked much about what happened during WW2 but I wish he still here so I could ask him. I have so many questions but unfortunately he died in 2002. He was 94 years old. My mother still have some memorabilia, insignia and medal who belong to him.
So grandpas a nazi 😂?
This story needs more exposure. I thought I knew most of everything in WWII but I see I missed this one. Great story !
You missed a tons of background information about WW1-2, in a nutshell, just reverse WW2 narrative, this will give you a better insight and perspective about this useless and wasteful war same as WW1,
FDR provoked Hirohito, Hitler hates war, Churchill really prosecuted the war, Nazi Gemany was allied with the Zionists, Japan and Britain were allies, they were acting policemen for Britain and America in southeast asia ( reason they were overrun)
You forgot to mention Skorzeny most daring feat the raid on monte Gran Sasso that liberated Mussolini.
He only took credit for it but it he wasn't actually the main thing..
@@SuperBROKEN81 He was on the plane with Mussolini going back to Germany, I think he was the main thing, in fact, anywhere he went, he was always the main thing.
@@rosesprog1722 yes, he was there. He was not the key player though
@@SuperBROKEN81 I always thought he was the main guy on this one but I probably got that from some video on YT, guess I'll have to take out my old books and dig a little, thanks.
@@rosesprog1722 Skorzeny flew the plane that got him off the Mountain. But it was a different man that led the actual taking of the site.
Weird to think such a messed up person ended up saving so many Jews
I suppose if you kill millions of Roman Catholic Jews and Jews that married other Christians and disabled Jews, sick Jews, poor Jews, Jews they considered useless and can lie to the world and the rest of the world doesn't think Israel will get away with anything.
Look into the word AshkenNAZI.
@@janettedavis6627 you realize that is an english translation? most jews murdered in the holocuast were ashkenazi Jews, and most Israeli Jews aren't Ashkenazi they're Mizrahi
Not messed up , he was a soldier as a job .
@@metaxist The SS was a voluntary force, nazi propoganda was very affective
@@metaxist He was messed up, you didn't have to join the ss
A case study of someone who is totally immoral or rather amoral . The film footage of him in civilian clothes was in Dublin where my late mother met in a shop with his wife . She said he was very tall and imposing . Very good review of a little known event in post WW2 history .
Yeah he was tall. My grandmother showed me a picture of my grandfather with others soldiers from WW2 and this guy is in the picture too. My grandfather was 1.90m (6.2ft) and that guy appear taller. It's interesting stuff. I will surely do some research on where that picture was taken. My grandfather died in 2002 and he was very secretive about what he did during WW2. He never talked much about it and I was too respectful to ask questions. I assumed that if he didn't talk about it, it was better not to ask. My mother still have his insignia, medals, and other memorabilia.
Otto skorzeny definitly deserve a movie of it own. His life story is insane!!.
Thanks for posting. This a great topic for Ethics classes.
Probably he was simply a murderous person who didn't care who he killed.
Yep he had no morals. Whether he was killing Jews or Germans or Egyptians
@@cole716 which shows exactly the character of the nazis
@@dragon57wolf87 and of the Jews
@@dragon57wolf87 He did it for his country, like any other spy or special agent in any other country in the world does, good agents have to leave their morals at home and they cannot be blood thirsty monsters, otherwise they're not good agents.
Interesting story. Was surprised Israel would work with a Nazi, but survival makes for strange bed fellows.
Because they are new Nazis
The jews know no bounds on how low they will go.
It wasn't the first time. In the mid-30s -- before the Final solution had been decided upon -- there was cooperation between the Haganah and the SS. The SS was charged with getting the Jews out of Germany. The Haganah wanted to bring them to Palestine. And so, without anyone ceasing to hate the other's guts, there was cooperation. But it came to naught, not due to any double-dealing by either side, but because of the British Royal Navy!
@@wynnschaible The Germans themselves ended the migration of Jews to the land of Israel
@@yosefgreen3130 they did later on but not at first. That was stopped by the Royal Navy.
Damn I knew Israel has done some weird stuff in order to survive but I hadn't heard of this one. Absolutely amazing story and very interesting that such a thing was possible
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@lindakasabiana9723 it appears Ben Gurion was only concerned about the survival of European Jews. He did not consider how Arabized Jews who were the majority of Jews will be affected by Mossad's actions. Sending bombs to kill Egyptian civilians was the trigger that set up the exodus of Egyptian Jews. If Ben Gurion was concerned about Arabized Jews, he would have acted differently. What an idiot Ben Gurion was. A European Jewish colonist. This video is quite informative on the matter. By the way the missiles were just publicity stunts. Long Range artillery from the Sinai can reach Tel Aviv in seconds. No need for missiles.
Thats why israel do to the Palestinian people what nazi did to the Jews.They learned from nazi
@@bogumilaskowron2680 The Nazi making missiles is just some nonsense. Nazi making missiles for the US and Russia is more logical. The Nazi missile makers have no ideology. They work for the highest bidder.
Nasser enlisted some Nazis to train Egypt's military or produce anti-Israel propaganda - and Israel feared they were involved in building a rocket program.
@@everythingandmore5537 anti-israel propaganda? Whole world sed their crimes against Palestinian people.Hasbara propaganda is zionists propaganda which israel use to cover their crimes
"I have pursued mine enemies and overtaken them: neither did I turn again til they were consumed." Psalm 18:37
Old saying: “War makes for strange bedfellows!”
Very nice commentary. Informative. I was unaware of this story.
Always a fascinating and insightful video thank you so much 🙌🏻
I have heard about this story about Skorzeny working for Mossad for quite a while now. Good to have a detailed video about it.
Always examine the source of the “ claim” because that is all it is ……
In the book Rise and Kill First, author Ronen Bergman describes this Mossad operation well. Skorzeny wanted a lifetime of immunity from prosecution, signed by then-Israeli PM Eshkol, and an Austrian passport. Yes, Skorzeny knew that Weisenthal had been after him for years, and Simon said no to the request made by the Mossad to remove this Nazi from the Nazi hunter's list. Skorzeny had been very influential with the Kristallnacht programs.
And if the rumors were true, he set up the biggest weapon smuggling ring in the Mediterranean & Europe, but those files went with him to the grave
Wiesenthal was a self admitted liar, kristalnacht programs ?, you do realise the Nazi higher ups stopped it the next day.
And why was Simon after him? Can you prove he was ever a guard at any camp? Last time Zi checked he was in charge of a waffen ss facility that repaired anti tank and artillery pieces before his name was brought forward by his longtime friend Ernst Kaltenbrunner from Vienna Austria …….
There’s a saying we Indians bielieve, “Rashtrahit Sarvopari” which means “our National interests should be Paramount and above all other things.”
Indeed Israel also showed the same. Desperate times calls for Desperate measures. Love to Israel. ❤
They are just basically killing innocent children lol
uh India loves everyone anyways what da h3ll we gonna do if we hate someone .....
"Salus populi suprema lex esto" appears in Cicero's De Legibus (about 2000 years ago) and versions of that were repeated by John Locke in the 17th century and since by many others.
Should make a film on this topic
Totally would watch
Definitely! Telling the truth that Masonic Secret Societies AshkeNazi Jews invented the Nazi Party and Communist Party.
Killing off Roman Catholic Jews and Jews that married Protestants, Disabled Jews aged Jews Orthodox Christian Jews. Nazism and Communism founded by the Masonic Secret Societies Jews 1st Gentiles lower. Look into the word AshkenNAZI. The Final Solution was to rid the world of Christianity starting with Roman Catholicism. Roman Catholic Church is not in Rome today.
@@janettedavis6627 this is like an anti semitic bingo card
"The Nazi who saved Israel" we live in a world where that's a sentence 👀
Great video!
Thanks. Love this channel.
Sometimes you must dance with the devil before death itself is the only partner left to dance with.
Short answer is, the top leaders are pragmatic individuals who don't care much about a person's background as long as they could get the job done.
That's logical, the US took over 1000 German scientists after the war, some were criminals, so what, it's what they can do that matters, not what they did while working for other people, a question of choice.
Thanks for sharing this story. Very fascinating and quite a moral dilemma they had to face.
Love how it’s being told to 😂 so captivating 🤭
The nazi symbol was NOT a swastika, it was a Hakenkreuz. While it does resemble a swastika it isn’t one.
What's the difference? Are they not one the same?
In 1968 my father was working in Madrid, Spain for a US Major Grain trading company. He was asked to receive this garbage of a man (by then Skorzeny owned his own grain trading company ). My father, a WW2 scholar knew who he was. My father made the SOB wait in the waiting room for 30 minutes. Then snuck out a side door to avoid meeting him. He noted as he was sneaking out after taking a peek his old facial scars. My father went against the telexed order from Minneapolis (HQ), out of principal , and told his bosses he would not meet him nor accommodate any business dealings with Skorzeny nor his company
Yet Israel had no problem working with him.
I never knew about this part of Skorzeny , this needs to be a movie!!!
Fantastic video!
Him: "My goals are beyond to your understanding"
We need a Call of Duty campaign covering this lmao.
"War makes strange bedfellows"
I love this channel❤
This guy must have had almost super natural abilities a savant of espionage and spy warfare.
As a proud Orthodox Jew, this was absolutely necessary. Love your channel btw
Bro really said "Change team"
Yo! I saw a reaction video from Ruslan on this. Most incredible new story I've heard in a while. IMMEDIATELY subscribing!
was skorzeny the trigger man for krug?
Fascinating!
AMAZING. Todah
Fascinating. Thanks.
Skorzeney got that " if you cant beat them join them "
When is the movie coming out?
An asset too valuable to not make use of it.
Fantastic video. Would make a great film, indeed.
Netflix take note of this amazing story and make it happen like you did with The Spy!
That is an amazing story!! Thank you for putting this up!
Man, this would make for a cool buddy film.
great video, best unpacked host
Love your channel, too!
This is such an incredible story, I never knew!
The israelies studied blitzkrieg tactics
For the 1967 six day war
Also skorzenys participation in the
Gran sasso raid was minimal
He went along for the ride
And almost caused the plane
Mussolini was in to crash
By demanding to accompany
Him!
the learned a lot through nazis
It had to be done. Great story!
Ouch, Otto Skorzeny. The one in Alistair Mclane novel.
“My goals are beyond your understanding”
Afterall truth is stranger than fiction
Surviving is complex. One does what one must do for the good all the people.
Great story young man
that dude has a resume of achievments, he has his own youtube clip all under a minute. just saying
Otto Skorzeny is the best pick for israel he is the most effective commando operative in ww2 genius pick for me too
I don't know if the information is true or not about him, but this man could not influence Egypt's missile program in any way. The issue is much more complicated than this. Also, the exit of the Nazis from Egypt is a big lie. Most of the Nazis obtained Egyptian citizenship and died in the land of Egypt. In general, the Soviets and the Americans were their enemies, and they saw it as treason to work for the Soviets and the Americans, who were making those who kidnapped them. They act like it
He's like Hercules Mulligan 😂
Hey Bro Are you related to Bee lack moses??
Да, "Моссад" сотрудничал со Скорцени. Об этом рассказала израильская радиостанция "Рэка" лет 20 тому назад. Когда привлекавшего Скорцени руководителя " Моссад" спросили: "Как-же это возможно?" Он ответил:" Ну и что? Он же не убивал евреев..." Как Вам подобная логика? 😔
The idea that all Germans were guilty of mass murder is ridiculous, the Mossad executive was right, if he didn't commit any crimes, he didn't, simple.
Otto Skorzeny was a top commando commander....don't know about the rest said about him on here...
Very interesting isn't that weird we learn every day
Really similar ideologies
The same moral dilemma confronts the use in the fight against the Mafia of "pentiti" ("repented" - name for collaborators with justice). The great - assassinated - prosecutorial magistrate Falcone said they were vital. Unfortunately it's the nature of the fight that requires this
More content like this. Not just chearleading, but really explaining what it means to be Israeli.
This would be an amazing HBO show.
Former Nazi hunting Nazis.
Talk about nuanced…
Would explain the situation in the West Bank perfectly
Brilliant.
Haavara agreement is an interesting story too. Also the Patria ship story it should be a movie.
Translation: The Transfer Agreement and the Plight of the St-Louis. : ) Cheers.
..... Misery acquaints a man with strange bedfellows
Otto Skorzeny should have a film bio starring Henry Cavill
Simple. Do what must do.
What's killing me after 2,000 years we were still naive.
Reminded me of Mata hari, WW1 era double agent spy.
A great video. Thank you.
Hitler rn: But.. but you were my favourite 😢
This story is somewhat inspiring to me in a messed up way. I used to be a raging antisemite who wanted the destruction of Israel and Jewish people (I ate all the propaganda and vile conspiracy theories fed to me and honestly thought that the world would be a better place without Jews, it’s very scary the things I believed)
I opened my eyes and educated myself after forming close friendships with Jews in my city. I strongly regret spreading hatred, I’m really sorry. Now all I want is for Jews and Israel to thrive, educate antisemites, and I want to go and visit Israel myself one day.
I really enjoy the content you guys create.
Love from South Africa 🫶🏼
Do the USS Liberty next!!!
You got it!! ua-cam.com/video/DJ_eg-imPMk/v-deo.html
They should make more videos on the Mossad
The Mossad failed in what it wanted to do because Egypt's missile program continued and became stronger. Indeed, the Zionist follies have not yet affected anything, and Egyptian intelligence has become much better now
Litteraly threatening the devil to do ones bidding
Most interesting story today
"Better to have him inside the tent pissing out, rather than outside the tent pissing in...." - what the Israeli Mossad must have been thinking, to paraphrase LBJ.
LBJ had a unique way with words.
So true
5:30 Is that young Lee Van Cliff ?? Anyone Notice ?
Certainly did...
Otto skorzeny Was acquitted of war crimes
This is a pretty good mix of facts and propaganda. Little doctor approves
Sometimes to fight a monster, you need a monster of your own
All in this together…
After ww2 all countries hired ex- german officers in many jobs, with experience . Speidel for example (afrika korps ) was commander of NATO in east.
You got to do what you got to do.
This should be make into a movie...the title... DEVIL'S DEAL!
I think Skorzeny was politically mostly anti communist but not a Nazi fanatic. For example he saved Wilhelm Miklas from the Nazis in Austria.
. unbelievable 😢🎉
Well, they wanted to save on training by hiring experienced guy.
I guess if you can't beat them join them.
Fight poison with poison.
I think I see a very bad problem here, but I'm not going to ask my question.
