The Battle of Castle Itter: When Americans and Germans Fought Together
In the final days of May 1945, as World War II in Europe was collapsing, a bizarre and nearly unbelievable battle unfolded at Castle Itter in Austria.
While most German forces were surrendering or retreating, a small group of American soldiers and German Wehrmacht troops made the extraordinary decision to fight together against a common enemy—the fanatical SS units still loyal to the Nazi regime.
