Ireland's Nazi Commando: Otto Skorzeny (Part I)

This is the first of two podcasts which looks at the story of Otto Skorzeny, a notorious Nazi with a long but forgotten connection to Ireland. It is set in the aftermath of World War II to the intriguing backdrop of the hunt for Nazi war criminals after the war. Once labelled the most dangerous man in Europe the focus of the podcast, Otto Skorzeny, was a man plagued with rumours of war crimes, gun running and Neo-Nazi activities all his life. His arrival in Ireland in 1957 started a dark chapter in our history one steeped in controversy mystery and unsettling revelations about some of Irelands most prominent figures. Outsiders is a short mini series I am making over Christmas - I will be returning to the story of the Great Famine in mid January 2018.   Support the podcast www.patreon.com/irishpodcast Get unique rish history pins badges at irishhistorypodcast.ie/shop For information regarding your data privacy, visit acast.com/privacy
