There was this feller named Otto Skorzenky. He was a commando for the Nazis. At the end of the war he traded the Allied powers the names of many of the scientists that were scooped up by our side in Operation Paperclip for his freedom and he was able to smuggle a bunch of nazis to argentina after the war where he had served out the rest of his life as the security detail to Evita Peron.

Not so much. Otto Skorzeny (not Skorzenky) entry excerpt:

“While awaiting a West German denazification trial in 1949, he escaped from Darmstadt prison and spent his remaining years in Spain.”

(1908-1975)

I know his body was found many years later in Berlin, but I’ve always wondered what happened to Martin Borman after leaving the Fuher Bunker.

Skorzeny also worked for the Mossad.

Many former Waffen SS joined The French Foreign Legion after the war.
