Days after Hitler’s suicide a group of American soldiers, French prisoners, and, yes, German soldiers defended an Austrian castle against an SS division—the only time Germans and Allies fought together in World War II. Andrew Roberts on a story so wild that it has to be made into a movie.

Sounds like a book I want to order! Awesome story.

[Zacherof]

That's an awesome story and it sounds almost too crazy to be true.



I laughed at the topics at the bottom

Agreed. This story would make an epic movie. Here's hoping that if a screenwriter touches it they wouldn't feel compelled to 'enhance' it.

Sounds poo to me

I read about that before, I think in one of the military history magazines. As I remember the German officer on the American side was killed during the action. Quite a remarkable story indeed worthy of a movie, maybe a TV movie though.

... maybe a TV movie though.

Bite your tongue. 

[MarineUS]

That's awesome. Ty for sharing! 

[Ack-Ack]

Reminds me of an old Jack Higgins' book.

I can remember another post about Brits joining the Germans in WWII (not throwing an insult out at any Brits). I'm sure all nations had people who fought for the wrong/right side. It happens.

Smoe, you're a schmoe.

The Narzzies enlisted British into their collaborator SS divisions but they could not be trusted

Prove your loyalty by catching the bullets and mortars of your fellow countrymen.

Brits played a large roll in equipping and training the Japanese in Carrier warfare in the early 20s.

Is a outrage, bit like equipping Saddam Hussein or The Mujahideen by the US

But we won't talk about that

The Soviet Union supplied the Narzzies with raw materials right up to the invasion of the Soviet Union
