What if Mussolini was killed in the Gran Sasso Raid, either by his guards, by a German stray bullet, or in the crash of the plane that took them back to Vienna?

Nothing else? Although obviously this is not going to make the Germans win, the repercussions should be pretty big, both militarily and post-war...
They get another high ranking Fascist die hard to 'rule' the Italian Social Republic, say Graziani or Pavolini, and throw the martyred Duce into their propaganda.
Or maybe they don't waste their time and money and the Germans run northern Italy like any other occupied territory.

Skorzeny's failure sees him assigned to fewer, and less important operations.
