What Patton Did When German Snipers Used Fake Surrender Flags
In the final weeks of World War II, the boys of Patton’s Third Army entered Germany expecting surrender. What they found were white flags in every window — and rifles behind many of them. This is the untold story of the last brutal month of the European war. False surrenders. Desperate boys and old men forced to fight. SS execution squads hanging their own soldiers. And the terrible choices American troops had to make, village after village, to survive. It is also the story of Patton’s reckless rescue mission, the liberation of Ohrdruf, and the moment even “Old Blood and Guts” could not stomach what he saw. 00:00 White flags and hidden rifles 11:40 Task Force Baum – Patton’s gamble 23:20 The Werwolf myth and the reality 34:10 Aschaffenburg – a city that would not surrender 47:50 Ohrdruf and the camps If your father, grandfather, or uncle served with the Third Army, 4th Armored Division, or any unit in the final push across Germany — or was one of the men who liberated the camps — please leave his name and unit in the comments. These stories deserve to be remembered. Thank you for watching.
