In the 1960s, Israel's Mossad hired a former (and unapologetic) Nazi assassin to prevent Egypt from developing a missile program with the help of former Nazi scientists. This sensitive operation required the help of expert in psychological warfare and Mossad agent, Yosef Raanan. Raanan supervised the operation to recruit former WW2 Nazi SS Lieutenant Colonel Otto Skorzeny, because of his personal connection to German scientists working on Egypt's missile program. But the recruitment of a Nazi who showed no remorse for his actions required caution, wile, and moral compromise. Although Israel was hesitant to work with a former Nazi, ultimately, Skorzeny’s insider knowledge was critical to successfully stopping a major threat to Israeli national security. 00:00 Intro 00:35 Threats from Arab countries 01:46 Egyptian collaboration with Nazis 02:43 Mossad collaboration with Nazi 03:29 Recruitment of Skorzeny 06:27 Holocaust Museum 06:52 Mossad operations against Nazis in Egypt 07:40 Otto Skorzeny's death 08:15 Israel's moral question Subscribe and turn on your notifications so you don’t miss future uploads!
