For the first time in English the full story of Otto Skorzeny’s mysterious Panzerbrigade 150 and its part in Operation Greif – the deception plan designed to both seize bridges over the Meuse and cause mass confusion among the allied troops – through the use of German troops in American uniforms. Many accounts have previously been written about these operations, all of them inaccurate to greater and lesser degrees. In this meticulously researched account Mr. Schadewitz accurately presents the whole story and in doing so shatters many of the myths surrounding this ambitious, but ill conceived, operation.
