• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Hitler’s Mountain Commando Air Raid to Free Mussolini

On 12 Sep 1943, in one of WW2’s greatest secret commando raids by air, Hitler rescued Mussolini from a high mountain top prison where Italy had incarcerated him after sacking him as its leader and swapping sides from the Axis to the Allies. Come see how this remarkable operation took place. Hope you enjoy. Cheers.

 
@FrankPilot - Not to "highjack", but to add to this story, here are photos of two pages from a book my father left me. The caption explains.
Additionally, I have seen photos of Mussolini getting into the Storch somewhere on the web.
