Battle of Castle Itter! Sabaton even has a song on it, “The Last Battle”. if I can remember correctly, German Wermacht troops were stationed at Castle Itter and we’re responsible for the guarding of French government prisoners. They were set to surrender to the allies, when they heard word of a battle-hardened SS battalion In the area hell-bent on making sure no one survived, and no One surrendered. The Wermacht linked up with the American troops in the area and they said about defending the Castle until allied reinforcements could arrive. no they had a tank at their disposal, it was only a Sherman and was knocked out early in a fight, and they were outnumbered, outgun, and had to overcome a language barrier between the American and German troops. One of the government officials from France ended up leaving over the wall and running through the gunfire to find and call for help from the allies in the area, whom then arrived just in time to turn the battle into a rout.
