Fun Fact: As the tennis player was running to get reinforcements he stumbled upon two SS soldiers Manning a machine gun. At this point, he switched his appearance to match as an Austrian peasant. He proceeded to take a leak in front of the two soldiers and carry on his way. Leaving them completely dumbfounded.

most of the French prisoners were actually political prisoners. One was a former PM who was recorded as taking up a spare gun from the armory and helping in the defense, the German Army major Josef Gangl actually lost his life saving the PM from a SS sniper.

Battle of castle itter, where whermacht major Josef gangl and US captain John Lee together defended the French political prisoners in a mediaeval castle against Nazi soldiers. Unfortunately Josef gangl was shot and killed. when trying to protect the French political prisoners. Ultimately battle was won when a Tennis player Jean Barotra, one of the prisoners, bravely escaped castle to call out for American reinforcements, and succeeded in its venture. The American reinforcements arrived at right time, and chased away the fleeing Nazis.

@stephenparallox Год назад

I absolutely love this story, would love to see an actual movie made about it. Just to clarify a few things. It wasn't just Nazis coming back to take the castle and kill the prisoners, it was the bloody SS. And the tennis player (at least from the accounts I read) dodged gunfire and scaled a wall to get reinforcements. The battle had a major effect on French history, cause it was major head of the French government that were being held at the castle. If they were killed, French history may have been change drastically post WWII, hence why the SS wanted to kill them.

As far as battles go, it was pretty insignificant in the grand scheme of things. It has symbolic value but had no effect on the war’s outcome. And I note that the Wehrmacht fought against the SS when the war was clearly over and the Americans were winning. Noble I guess but they would have laughed in the Americans face if the Axis were winning. It’s easy to do the right thing when it means joining the victors.

The battle of Castle Itter was fought on 5 May 1945, in the Austrian village of Itter in the North Tyrol region of the country, during the last days of the European Theater of World War II. Troops of the 23rd Tank Battalion of the 12th Armored Division of the US XXI Corps led by Captain John C. "Jack" Lee, Jr., a number of Wehrmacht soldiers led by Major Josef "Sepp" Gangl, SS-Hauptsturmführer Kurt-Siegfried Schrader, and recently freed French prisoners of war defended Castle Itter against an attacking force from the 17th SS Panzergrenadier Division until relief from the American 142nd Infantry Regiment of the 36th Division of XXI Corps arrived. The French prisoners included former prime ministers, generals, a tennis star, and Charles de Gaulle's sister. It is one of two known times during the war in which Americans and Germans fought side by side, the other being Operation Cowboy.

For anyone confusee, the German army at that time was divided into SS and Wehrmacht. SS was Hitler‘s army, which were formed basically by nazis, and their duties had to do with murdering jews and stuff like that. Wehrmacht, in the other hand, was just the normal National Army and had nothing to do with nazism. Wehrmacht soldiers did have the swastika in their uniforms because they were still commanded by Hitler. But being Nazi, as opposed to SS, was not a requirement for joining the Wehrmacht. Also, as a German speaker, I don’t want to translate the word Wehrmacht because it sounds stupid when translated. Let’s just use it in German :D

This is partially true. The Wehrmacht was officially non-political, but in reality was VERY involved in the holocaust. while the SS were the main perpetrators of German Wartime Atrocities the Wehrmacht had their fair share as well (Although to a substantially lesser degree). It's not a bad thing that you said this though, it allows people like me to debunk it. The idea that the Wehrmacht were not involved in the crimes comitted by the Nazi Regieme is a still common misconceptionc called the "Clean Wehrmacht Myth". The myth originates fro just after WW2 ended and Germany was under allied occupation. The Western Allies wanted to make sure that the soon to be formed Federal Republic of Germany (or west germany) could defend itself from possible Soviet attack which meant they needed a standing army of their own. The problem is, the commanders and soldiers of this new army would have to be the same ones who just lost WW2. So, the Clean Wehrmacht myth was created to stem any public outrage this would give.

its historically accurate. its called the battle of castle itter. The castle was used as a prison for some high profile french POW, a member of czech resistance, and a famous tennis player. As it clear that the germans lost the war at this point the garrison abandoned their post. The french prisoner then send someone to find nearby allied troops. They find an american infantry units. Along the way they encounter a wehrmact german troops who proceed to surrender to the americans. The nearby SS troops then decide to attack the itter castle. Its dubbed the strangest battle in WW2 fought side by side by a rag tag group of american, wehrmacht, french POW, and some czech resistance group against the SS german division.

0:17 “Captain Lee! I got news from Berlin!”Yep this is Castle Battle Everyone Knows But In The Real Battle,The entire Americans are tankers (Lee Himself is a Tanker) and Also Is not a Nazi Prison Camp is a freaking a Castle with politicians.There Are Many Easter eggs to the real battle.Good Job.

@striderpup1169 Год назад

The Americans were from the 12th AD, 23rd tank battalion, so that makes sense. And Lee would have had seven or so Shermans, but he couldn’t take them all across a bridge. It used to be a Nazi prison castle, but it was abandoned by the SS garrison.

This taught us a very important fact: Not all Germans are Nazis. Many people (mainly Americans) always confuse them and sometimes call WW1 Germans Nazis. I believe that only around 5% or WW2 Germans were actual Nazis, the rest were innocent civilians trying to survive. (My statistic might be off)

@howardbaxter2514 2 года назад

People need to understand that not all soldiers back the political regime in charge. Soldiers, most of the time, are just fighting because they have to and/or they have pride for their country and want to protect it. It happened with German soldiers and it is happening today with the Russian soldiers and Russian people. Not all (likely only a minority) soldiers and civilians support Putin’s actions.

The castle is called Castle Itter, it was after Hiltter killed himself and Germany Surrendered. A German Weirmacht company that just surrendered to an American Airborn company and an SS officer who was also an Austrian resistance. The occupants of the castle were VIP prisoners. They included politicians, athletes and otheres. At the surrender, the SS left with a notice that they wold return to kill them all. They sent an athlete with an Austrian dialect over the walls to get help, the Americans, Weirmacht and single SS officer held off an entire SS battalion for over a day until the American Sherman tank division could arrive. The castle has not been repaired, it still bears the wounds inflicted that day.

One last fight, it's the death throes of the Third Reich Justice shall be done, the final battle remains Ammo is running low, they're depleting their machine guns Every bullet counts until surrender is announced
