He tells in detail the story of his arrest by the Badoglio forces and subsequent imprisonment, as well as (his version of) his rescue by German paratroopers led by Otto Skorzeny. The Gran Sasso raid was the rescue of Italian dictator Benito Mussolini by German Fallschirmjäger led by Major Harald Mors and Waffen-SS commandos (notably Otto Skorzeny) in September 1943, during World War II. The airborne operation was personally ordered by Adolf Hitler, planned and executed by Mors, and approved by General Kurt Student.Very respectable vintage copy in original DJ. LOC SSE-02
