Glenn Miller is one of the most loved orchestraleaders ever. He died in the Second World War. The official explainaition to his death was that his plane had been bombed by mistake over the English Channel. Now the author Hunton Downs says in his book The Glenn Miller Conspiracy that Glenn Miller died as a War Hero.
According to Downs, General Eisenhower, Commander of the Allied Forces had an agreement with the German General von Rundstedt and two other Generals that Major Glenn Miller and soldiers from 101 Airborne Division should fly to Krefeld and be protected there by von Rundstedt's forces. After that they should fly to Berlin and hide there under protection by the West agent Fritz Kolbe. The plan was to take over the Berlin radiostation an play Millermusic and send propaganda and messages from Eisenhower to the German people. Unfourtnately there was a leak in Eisenhower's staff, so the Germans knew about it. Miller was caught by Colonel Otto Skorzeny, personal choosen by Hitler as expert on dirty tricks. He had reliesed Mussolini from Gran Sasso and had a group SS soldiers dressed in American uniforms. The allied considered him as a hired killer. He used Miller as a decoy to get Eisenhower. Miller was found on the street outside a brothel in Paris, it was also GESTAPO's headquarters. He was tortured and before he died at a military hospital, he whispered a warning to Eisenhower. He got the Bronze Star.
This information was top secret,nobody was allowed to say anything. Skorzeny organized the organizaition ODESSA after the war and helped Nazi war criminals to escape to South America. I read a book by him when I was young.
