In 1944, Hitler was preparing for the Ardennes Campaign on the Western Front and deployed three German Armies in an attempt to solve the problem on the Western Front in one decisive battle. Among these soldiers of the Third Reich were the Orningberg Troops – led by Special Forces Commander Skorzeny – which wore captured US military uniforms and drove captured US military vehicles directly into the Allied front lines – causing terror and chaos wherever they went!



These fake American soldiers, however, quickly attracted the attention of the Allies. This top-secret bold plan was named “Project Griffin”. The most daring and dangerous work in the “Project Griffin” fell to 160 Nazi German Volunteers – who were proficient in speaking English. As secrecy was the key – these Volunteers were gathered together in the Grafenwöhr Training Camp – where they were fully isolated from other people – including their families.


The training was rigorous, including physical fitness, hand-to-hand combat, shooting practice and learning how to use American weapons and explosives. The traditional tight-fitting German Army uniforms were set aside and daily viewing of Hollywood films, especially war films, was required to improve the Special Forces soldiers’ command of American slang and body language. Skorzeny encouraged his men to chew gum and lazily salute their superiors – he even organized a group of Cadres to visit POW camps holding American prisoners – in order to perfect their camouflage skills.

1944年,希特勒准备在西线进行阿登战役,投入德军三个集团军,试图一战解决西线问题。其中由特种部队指挥官斯科尔兹尼率领的奥宁堡部队,身穿缴获来的美军制服,驾驶缴获的美军车辆直接切入盟军战线,在他们所到之处制造恐怖和混乱,但是这些假冒的美国士兵很快引起了盟军的注意。
这个绝密的大胆计划被命名为“格里芬”计划。格里芬计划中最大胆和最危险的工作落在160名精通英语的纳粹志愿者身上,这些志愿者被集中在格拉芬沃尔训练营中,他们不能和其他人在一起,也不能给家人写信,训练十分严格,包括健身强体、徒手格斗、射击练习和学习如何使用美国武器和炸药。
传统的德军紧身制服被搁在一旁,每天必须观看好莱坞的影片,尤其是战争影片,以提高特种士兵对美国俚语和肢体语言的掌握。斯科尔兹尼鼓励手下嚼口香糖,懒散地给长官敬礼;甚至组织一部分骨干进入战俘营看望美军战俘,以尽量完善伪装技巧。
