"I don't care who wins, I just like killing."
Miller16of16
Reinhard Gehlen ran CIAs European branch for years. The first director of the Kennedy Space center was a nazi general, one of Hitlers former Chief of Staff became NATO chairman, former Nazi general became commander of NATO forces for central Europe. These F'ers got repurposed everywhere across the West.

He was a psychopath, they have (almost) no allegiance to anyone but themselves. In some horrible way, provided you pushed the right buttons and had some control and their respect, in times of serious difficulty, someone like him is exactly who you need.

In times of difficult its people like him that need to die first.

Is that one of those fencing scars that were lowkey popular 100 years ago?
CgnCalling
They still do that shit
SlaaneshiBreastEnthusiast
Well, there's still a thriving subculture of... let's call them ultraconservative... student organizations that are hugely into those scars.
ridureyu
Yes, it was a fencing scar.
parabolic000
Yep. Schmiss. Very popular sign of Teutonic aristocratic badassery, to the point their fencing masks had exposed cheeks, foreheads, and chins, and they often rubbed dirt into the wounds or sewed them up with horsehair to make the scar more noticeable.

When Israel hired him, they did Natzi his past work?

Izrael probably Nat cared zu much.
WowSoSparkly
wait till you see who got hired at Nasa as soon as 1945 (nazis at nasa? more likely than you think)
OverpricedCrayon
US gov hiring nazi rocket scientists is common knowledge.
PballQhead
They didn't hire him so much as showed up at his house in Spain and said "either start working for us as an agent for us to find and kill other Nazis, or…"
Sandyundertones
Being an amoral sociopath are valuable traits for intelligence work. If he ever turns, they also would have no objections burning him given his past. Like it or not, intelligence is not a nice business. The best assets are effective but you also don't mind leaving in a shallow grave. The Mossad knows that just as much as the KGB, MI6, or CIA.
IamAlbertPotato
He's the guy who rescued Mussolini after he was sacked by the Italian king
AllMaktAtTengilVarBefriare
Didn't take part in the rescue itself, but he orchestrated it.
Still, what a CV.
SlaaneshiBreastEnthusiast
Fucking moron almost jeopardized it because he squeezed into the plane with Mussolini against the pilot's protests, too.
Actually most of his operations were pretty much failures.
Txernobog
He took the praise, but the ops was planned and carried out by german regular parachute troops, with a dozen or so SS soldiers. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gran_Sasso_raid

That resume would send him straight to the top in Trump's cabinet.
GiantSpirograph
I mean, it’s not like he invented the V-2 rocket for the Germans to besiege London, then create the first nuclear ICBM for the Americans to aim at the Soviet Union. Looking at you, Wernher von Braun.
Hadestown24
Werner von Braun was an unrepentant nazi, a slavedriver, womanizing creep who preyed on women half his age, and pathological liar. He is considerably more evil than some of the men on trial at nuremberg

Once the rockets go up, I don't cares where they come down. "That's not my department." Say's Wernher von Braun. Quote from Tom Lehrer lyric.

Israel: "We don't want there to not be Nazis, we want it to be OUR turn to be the Nazis!"
77thtimesthecharm
That's been their national slogan since roughly 1948
Fisicboy
"Otto Skorzeny was a man wanted by Mossad, but instead of killing him, Skorzeny ended up working for Mossad. His motives for doing so are unknown, but it is likely a combination of a desire for adventure and a fear of being killed by Mossad, which led him to work for the Israeli government."
Hadestown24
His motives were simple. He was a violent psychopath who enjoyed war and conflict and this allowed him to indulge his violent adrenaline junkie behavior legally
DJOldguy
How many jobs did the CIA, KGB, MI5 give him?
Ardback
Don't forget the money.
Hadestown24
Bruh the dude basically had the mind of ted bundy and got to indulge his violent fantasies all day. Hed do it for free
Ardback
I doubt it. The company he founded in Madrid, Spain is still operating and echonomically doing so good. Not to mention her side job of as weapons deaeler, while he were alive.
For further information, you can read this:
https://www.amazon.com/Skorzeny-Most-Dangerous-Man-Europe/dp/0938289942
No doubt he was a bastard nazi, but no traces of any mind disorder.
Hadestown24
Bruh he used to personally train soldiers in how to torture other by demonstrating on other soldiers and smile while doing it. He was a psychopath
Ardback
I did not suspected you knew him so well...
PoRiverValley
Skorzeny worked training the Egyptian Army and Arab volunteers (including Yassir Arafat) to attack British and Israelis... before Israel recruited him *to help hunt down other Nazis*.

Is the photographer okay?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dueling_scar
A sign of honor in the very patriotic and conservative studentcorps. Dueling with sharp weapons was later on prohibited, but the studentcorps stayed very conservative. They still exist at some German Universities
Porfirij
dueling with sharp weapons is NOT prohibited and very much still alive. i did it myself. also, while you're right about the vast majority of studentcorps being very conservative, especially those who still do the whole dueling thing, there are exceptions - not necessarily the studentcorps themselves as institutions, but definitely individuals. again, from personal experience.
BobaFettApproves
It was a trend. Like a mark of devotion.
TheDarknessInTheHeartsOfMen
Like a bandage on an ear.
Tenugui

Ginoawesomesauce
Had nothing to do with being a Nazi. Franz Boas had a dueling scar; father of American anthropology, anti-racial scientist, Jew that fled the rising German antisemitism. It was a common pastime, much in the same way hockey players display their lost teeth today; and at least fencing with sabers is less deadly and stupid and more skill based than the gun dueling going on in the USA
MeFirstThanYou
Yes, but also kinda no. A lot of them went to "far right" schools and student clubs that were extremely right wing (Burschenschaften). Duelling was a common practice.

Fascinating character. That scar on his face was a dueling scar. The wiki on him just goes on and on…

Scar from a Sabre slice to the cheek. Considered honorable in Germany

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otto_Skorzeny
77thtimesthecharm
A lot of German officers had those, I my understanding this that fencing gained quite a bit of popularity leading up to the Second World War
ProbablyOnlyOnce
It wasn't so much fencing as it was ritualized hazing with swords. The idea wasn't to strike your opponent and avoid being hit yourself, but rather to suffer cuts to your cheeks, forehead, and ears and not flinch as you were sliced open.

They take thesis defense very seriously in Germany.
Hadestown24
He was a violent and sadistic psychopath who basically got to be a government sponsored serial killer which was probably a dream job for him
pupquine
Unlike any other country's operator. Not "whitewashing" at all - they all tend to be that kind of people, whatever country you point your finger to.
pupquine
It's in the job description methinks
Hadestown24
At least skorzeny was honest. Most CIA agents genuinely believe they are heroes defending freedom and democracy and enough congnitive dissonance to justify anything they want

Israel forces were built up using Nazi infrastructure and personnel. They ran military schools in West Germany after the war, using former facilities of the Hitler youth. It's even on Wikipedia.

They have become the oppressors.
PTK74
NOW everything makes much more sense.
melmboundanddown
They caught him to kill him, but figured it was better to employ him instead and have him kill Nazi scientists working for Egypt, so they spared his life. Two dead Nazis are better than one.

If you hire a nazi because you like his work you've got problems.

Recruited might be the wrong word. Supposedly he feared assassination by Mosad and therefore sold out other nazis. Dude was a Nazi through and through.

The catholic church did it with Ratboy. Nazis are bad, but useful.

luna3aoife
Wait how they were formed post ww2, 1948
spookyactionatadistance
Israel and Nazi Germany did not exist at the same time in history. Israel was founded in 1948.
ExTechOp
"Israel" at that point of course meaning "Zionist militias fighting against the British Mandate authorities in Palestine", since the state was established only after the war. The article is an interesting read, with the way modern Israel rewrites history.
Milkarius
A lot of countries joined Nazi Germany or Soviet Russie in hopes of an "independent" (or at least existing) homeland. It was even worse in WW1 where everyone fought on all sides for an independent Poland, Czechia, Slovakia and more.
kkisafoksaf
Yeah your quotes around israel are correct, but these people went on to be involved in Israel without the quotes. One had a high level military medal named after him, etc. These people shaped Israeli into what it is now and had a huge impact on their military tactics even today.
