How did Hitler's scar-faced henchman become an Irish farmer?
BBC News ^ | 30th December 2014 | Peter Crutchley

Posted on 01/01/2015 1:14:08 PM PST by the scotsman

'He was Hitler's favourite Nazi commando, famously rescuing Mussolini from an Italian hilltop fortress, and was known as "the most dangerous man in Europe".

After World War Two, he landed in Argentina and became a bodyguard for Eva Perón, with whom he was rumoured to have had an affair.

So when Otto Skorzeny arrived in Ireland in 1959, having bought a rural farmhouse in County Kildare, it caused much intrigue.'

I always thought they were old-school bowery-type weapons; someone once showed me how they were sewn into old snap-brim hats (specifically as a defensive weapon in a bar).

That is telling why he chose Ireland

The IRA were no strangers to Palis either

Not to my knowledge; while they are small/light and easy to conceal, they aren’t much good against even a good club with better range.

That is pretty much what post 38 said, but the question is still relevant.

I saw that, but I’d never heard of it as a tranny thing.

Transvestite hookers, street trannys, like straight razors.

The straight razor is a dark, subculture weapon, kind of a sadists play thing.

Go looking for the straight razor guys, and you will notice that almost every single one of them is a dark and creepy type, who is looking to hurt people and mark them up.

I’ve never seen “straight-razor” people except on TV; the razors I described being sewn into hat brims years ago were the old disposable ones that were used for shaving (where you twist the handle to open the top, replacing the thin razor itself).

As the scars were gained in this particular elite social context, associated with status and an academic institution, the scars showed that one had courage and also was “good husband material”. The duelling scars, while obvious, were not so serious as to leave a person disfigured or bereft of facial features. The scars were even judged by Otto von Bismarck to be a sign of bravery, and men’s courage could be judged “by the number of scars on their cheeks”.[5]

I’d like to see dueling make a comeback, politicians used to think twice before spouting off lies, lest somebody challenge them.

Dueling was wrong, and pretty stupid.

We may as well let them bowl or play a round of tennis, to see who wins the political discussion.

In NYC in the 80’s blacks would slash people on the subway for fun.

Saw a guy get his lips split open (4 lips!) with one whack.

In addition to the box cutter, the standard move was to carry a small emergency razor blade in the rubber of the sneaker, in case one got sent to Rikers.

Some guy also figured out how to smuggle crack in his sneaker and was actually smoking it in a holding cell.

Where there’s a will, there’s a way!

At least here in NJ we can carry Mace (in NYC it is illegal).

"Sober yet?? ;>)"

Had sex with a woman yet?

So you're the owner of that little Playskool anti-Freeper blog. I'm surprised you have any time to post here. I mean, it's time consuming to hunt up pictures of female Freepers from their profiles and dog their looks, and to compile data which compares the number of monthly donors from year to year. That is some serious obsession there... not exactly a part-time occupation.

Oh, well, I guess it's something to do when you get bored with Minecraft and the Hobbit movies. Easier than learning social skills, right?

I don’t own any blog, so I don’t know what you’re talking about. I don’t know how you leapt to that conclusion, but you’re making some serious charges. Now you’ll either have to invent some proof or STFU.

He was Austrian. A lot of Austrians have Slavic names and ancestry. That’s true of Germans as well — and vice versa, many Czechs or Poles or Slovenes have German names. The region was more of a melting pot that the nationalists of the 19th and 20th century would have had people believe.
