A reputation built during World War II becomes an intelligence asset in FORGOTTEN HISTORY's biggest new upload. Written and hosted by Michael Droberg, "Hitler's Most Dangerous Commando Became a Mossad Spy" follows Otto Skorzeny into a postwar world where his connections mattered as much as his commando experience.

The episode distinguishes Skorzeny's participation in the rescue of Mussolini from the Nazi propaganda that made the operation his personal triumph. It then follows German troops disguised as Americans during Operation Greif before reaching the title's central subject: Mossad's recruitment of Skorzeny to penetrate the network of German scientists working on Egypt's missile program. That part begins well into the documentary, after its account of his wartime career.

The video has drawn nearly 59,000 views. Several accompanying Shorts pull out individual chapters, including the alarm surrounding a rumored plot against Eisenhower and Skorzeny's escape from internment. Altogether, the channel posted fifteen uploads, with "China's Shadow War: The Rise of a Global Superpower" offering a longer compilation spanning Mao's revolution, industrial espionage allegations and tensions over Taiwan.

Across the channel, the week brought about 1.5 million views while subscribers held steady. Daily viewing is currently below its usual level. Geography By Geoff and hoser had larger weekly viewing gains among nearby education channels, while Lindybeige had a quieter week.

The busiest video here remains "Blackwater: The Private Army That Changed Modern Warfare." Published before this week's uploads, its examination of private military contracting is drawing roughly twice the daily views of the Skorzeny documentary.
