Hi Sandeep,
You ask,
"What exactly was Skorzeny's role in the Argentine army?"
This is a good question.
One can easily enough see what Galland and assorted German aero-engineers did for the Argentines. (See the books
El General de los Cazas. Adolf Galland en Argentina, 1948-1955 (
http://librogallandenargentina.blogspot ... os%20Cazas) and
Las Alas de Peron, from which some images (
https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=%22La ... d=0CCAQsAQ) are available on the internet. That is why I mentioned the former by comparison.
However, it is almost impossible to discern anything that Skorzeny did for them.
Indeed, beyond being pretty certain he was there in 1949, we cannot even be sure how long he was even in Argentina. Anecdotally, he travelled back and forth from Spain more than once and was in Egypt several times over 1953-55, at which point Peron was overthrown.
The only things that are clear are that he enjoyed the high life in Peron's social circle in 1949 and he was politically active in exiled Nazi circles.
If he was active as a security advisor concerned with the Perons' personal security and police procedures, I would like to know more.
It seems to me that, to Peron, Skorzeny was more ornamental. Peron was a personal admirer of Mussolini. He was in Italy when war broke out in 1939 and he claimed to have been in a main square in Rome when Mussolini announced his declaration of war to the crowd in June 1940. Peron's political philosophy seems to have owed much to Mussolini's corporatism. On the other hand, he admired the Germans militarily and had visited some of their conquests in 1940. Skorzeny covered both in one figure - the rescuer of Mussolini and confidant of Hitler. Skorzeny's attendance probably boosted Peron's already well developed ego.
I, too, would very much like to know whether Skorzeny did anything productive in the military field while in Argentina, but there seems little evidence of it.
There would seem to be a vacancy for a full, detached, biography of Skorzeny, as his post war years are often obscure. Indeed, books on his wartime years seem to be dominated by his own estimation of himself -
Commando Extraordinary, "The Most Dangerous Man in Europe", etc., etc.
Good luck,
Sid.
