Hey. I'm interested in Skorzeny's part in the battle of the bulge. Does anyone know any good sites about the subject - or books? I've read few facts here and there about his "band" and their actions in the battle, and it woke up my interest. Any help will be highly appreciated - thank you.

"A Time for Trumpets" by Charles McDonald has some reference. All my BoB books are at my office.

Try your local book store---Barnes and Noble, Waldonbooks, B. Dalton, etc. I know Ballentine Paperbacks had a book out about his entire military career, not quite a full biography. I bought a copy of it way back when I was in High School in the late 70's. If it isn't still in print, their computer system should be able to get you a title to look for at a second hand bookseller.

Try to find Skorzeny's autobiography. It will give you his version of events.

Thanks for ALL the answers. I've located some of the books you mentioned (I could say that it's a miracle to have those books in Finland), and I already ordered them..
Seems like I'm going to have a LOT of practice reading in english this winter..
