What happend at the Battle of Castle Itter? Why did the German soldiers fight for the allies?
In: 1
It’s 4 May 1945. Germany is overrun on both fronts, Hitler has been dead for a week, the writing is on the wall for all to see and Germany surrenders to the allies that same day.
Castle Itter is held by the SS and attacked by US and partisan forces.
Imagine you’re in charge of a Wehrmacht unit in the area and desperate to make a reputation for yourself that will keep you out of the inevitable war crimes trials. What do you do?
