Joe- I second Marion's post. I wouldn't doubt the word of any of you guys and that's not what my posts were intended for....I have always found this aspect of the Bulge story very interesting, as well as Skorzeny himself. In one book I have on the Bulge it states that the Grief commandos had little effect on the outcome and can be considered "[/i]a significant waste of German resources", but they did have a significant effect on American rear-area morale, out of proportion to their numbers as rumors began to spread. I'm sure that the vast majority of Americans never saw any of these guys!
