The Only Time Americans and Nazis Fought on the SAME SIDE | The Forgotten Battle of Castle Itter
The most extraordinary battle of World War II isn't in your history books. On May 5, 1945, as Hitler's Reich collapsed, American soldiers and German Wehrmacht troops did the unthinkable - they fought side by side against Hitler's SS forces to defend French VIP prisoners at Castle Itter in Austria. This incredible true story features a tennis champion's daring escape through enemy lines, a German officer sacrificing his life to save a French Prime Minister, and the only time in WWII when former enemies became battlefield allies. Discover how Captain Jack Lee, Major Josef Gangl, and the unlikeliest coalition in military history made a stand that defied the hatred of war. #CastleItter #wwii #forgottenhistory #militaryhistory #ww2 #worldwartwo #BattleOfCastleItter #americanhistory #europeanhistory #warstories #historicalbattles #TrueMilitaryStories #germanhistory #frenchhistory #militaryalliance #tennishistory #JeanBorotra #ThingsYouNeverKnew #unbelievablehistory #historydocumentary #worldwar2 #WehrmachtVsSS #LastDaysOfWW2 #ww2battles #militaryheroes #historynerd #historybuffs #BattleStories #hiddenhistory #warheroes
