No Engine, No Runway: The Impossible Gran Sasso Raid

How do you land a plane with no engine on a mountain peak? In 1943, elite German paratroopers attempted the most audacious special operations rescue of World War II: Operation Eiche. Strapped into canvas-covered DFS 230 gliders, they had to land on a tiny patch of rock at 6,000 feet to rescue Benito Mussolini. But the landing was only half the problem. The real challenge was the escape: a suicidal takeoff in a Fieseler Storch off a sheer cliff edge. This video breaks down the tactical insanity of the Gran Sasso Raid, the engineering behind the gliders, and the math that nearly killed Otto Skorzeny. 🚀 Subscribe for more WW2 Strategy & Tech: [   / @ww2battlegrounds  ] 🔍 KEY TECHNICAL BREAKDOWN: DFS 230 Glider: The silent workhorse of the Luftwaffe.
