Description
In a peculiar battle of World War II which took place after Germany’s surrender ended the war, an unlikely group of US soldiers, German regular army troops, and French prisoners became unexpected allies in this extraordinary event in history. Battle of Itter Castle, fought in Austria in May 1945, was a desperate attempt to defend high-profile French captives including former prime ministers, generals, and even a tennis champion against fanatical Nazi troops unwilling to surrender.
