No reason to withhold judgement. Skorzeny was a die hard Nazi all his life. And while that is not a crime in itself, he's certainly not a person I would invite to dinner. Working for the Israelis was something he did for his own selfish reasons. And the reason Mossad recruited him rather than assassinate him was because they needed him and his contacts. Necessity makes for strange bedfellows.
But that's my point, Scholz. Who is convinced against his will is of the same opinion still. I'm speaking, btw, just about his post-war actions, not of him as a person (obviously dangerous and fanatical).
If you had been put up to something by the Mossad unwillingly, wouldn't you give them only what was required to placate them? The only thing he'd be useful for is something like an assassination - and, even then, I'd want certain physical proof he'd actually killed the guy. Supposedly, the deal was that, if he did that, they'd call the war-crimes dogs off, but I guess Wiesenthal reneged or wouldn't agree.
Meanwhile, I would agree that his record during the war and especially after the war in South America, South Africa, Ireland, Spain, etc, all indicate a die-hard Nazi.
I'd certainly have him for dinner, just to try to get him loaded enough to tell a few good stories - though there would doubtless be a nervous moment or two.
