MussoIini's S Rescuer
Denies War Crimes
BY the Associated Press


DACHAU. Germany. Aug. 1s.-Col.
Otto Skorzeny, 6-foot 4-inch para
trooper who rescued Benito Musso-
lini from Italian partisans in 1s43,
pleaded innocent yesterday before
an American military tribunal to
charges Of killing American soldiers
and prisoners.
Placed on trial were Skorzeny, a
member of the IS (elite guard, and
nine other members of his Ardennes
spearhead battalion which made a
raid behind the American lines dur
ing the Battle of the Bulge in De-
cember, 1914 All denied the charges.
Col. Albert H. Rosenfeld, the pros
ecutor, indicated in his opening
statement that he would demand
the death penalty. The eight-man
court, headed by Col. Andrew Gard
ner, announced none of its members
was opposed to capital punishment.
1--WE chose these 10 men," Col.
Rosenfeld said, because they are
officers, they organized the expedi-
ton, gave the orders and carried
them out" He declared that most
of his witnesses would be members
of Col. Skorzeny's own brigade, and
they would support the indictment.
He said the idea for the raid grew
from a conference with Hitler. Vol
unteers were asked from all
branches of the services, with the
requirement that they speak Eng
lish with an American accent. he
added. Col Rosenefeld said 1000
reported near Nuremberg and were
trained by Skorzeny.
