Otto Skorzeny
Foley was born in India in 1908 and began working as a journalist in Paris on the "Paris Herald," a European edition of the "New York Herald" now known as the "International Herald Tribune". From 1940 to 1955 he served as Foreign Editor on the British newspaper "The Daily Express". In 1954 he interviewed Hitler's former commando chief, Otto Skorzeny – then living in Madrid. Foley subsequently wrote "Commando Extraordinary, Otto Skorzeny" (Longman Green, London, 1954), a well-crafted but laudatory account of Skorzeny's war-time exploits.
