The German paratrooper operation to free Italian dictator Benito Mussolini is explored in terms of the key personalities involved, with SS officer Otto Skorzeny's role posited as a propagandising attempt to install him in the situation artificially to establish a false sense of heroism. The real events are given with reference to letters, reports and other rarely-observed documents.
