The battle for Itter Castle is one of the strangest battles of World War 2!
In May 1945 as WW2 was in its last few days, an unlikely team of US Army, Wehrmacht and SS teamed up in an effort to defend an Austrian Castle full of French Prisoners of War from the SS!
The Battle for Itter Castle is one of only two occasions in WW2 where the US and German Armies teamed up to face a common foe.
