Operation Gran Sasso, carried out in September 1943, was a daring German special forces mission aimed at rescuing the Italian dictator, Benito Mussolini, who was imprisoned by the Allies. The unit led by Skorzeny managed to execute a glider landing at the mountain lodge Hotel Campo Imperatore and, without losses, successfully rescued Mussolini. This mission went down in history as one of the best-executed special operations of World War II, earning Skorzeny worldwide fame.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003ch3\u003eKit contents and special features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eHighly detailed figure of Otto Skorzeny in full Luftwaffe Fallschirmjäger uniform, complete with characteristic details such as holster and personal accessories.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eClearly rendered facial expressions and realistically designed fabric folds on the uniform.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eGlue and paints are not included – additional modeling accessories are required for assembly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eThis set is intended for advanced modelers and collectors of historical miniatures.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n  \u003ch3\u003eWho do we recommend this model for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    Dragon 1621 HAUPSTURMFUHRER Otto Skorzeny is intended for modelers seeking ambitious historical challenges and excellent reproduction of details.
