most of the French prisoners were actually political prisoners. One was a former PM who was recorded as taking up a spare gun from the armory and helping in the defense, the German Army major Josef Gangl actually lost his life saving the PM from a SS sniper.

Fun Fact: As the tennis player was running to get reinforcements he stumbled upon two SS soldiers Manning a machine gun. At this point, he switched his appearance to match as an Austrian peasant. He proceeded to take a leak in front of the two soldiers and carry on his way. Leaving them completely dumbfounded.

There's a important part you missed. The tennis player dressed up as an Austrian and when he got over the wall, he immediately ran into a nazi enemy machine gun nest. He pretended to forage for mushrooms, then peed on a tree, then left. The Germans were so confused they let him go.

I absolutely love this story, would love to see an actual movie made about it. Just to clarify a few things. It wasn't just Nazis coming back to take the castle and kill the prisoners, it was the bloody SS. And the tennis player (at least from the accounts I read) dodged gunfire and scaled a wall to get reinforcements. The battle had a major effect on French history, cause it was major head of the French government that were being held at the castle. If they were killed, French history may have been change drastically post WWII, hence why the SS wanted to kill them.

To add to the team up: there was actually a wounded SS soldier still on the castle that had previously befriended the prisoners and joined them in the defense of the Castle. Also there was another instance of cooperation, involving a Cossack unit, in Operation Cowboy

As far as battles go, it was pretty insignificant in the grand scheme of things. It has symbolic value but had no effect on the war’s outcome. And I note that the Wehrmacht fought against the SS when the war was clearly over and the Americans were winning. Noble I guess but they would have laughed in the Americans face if the Axis were winning. It’s easy to do the right thing when it means joining the victors.

Battle of castle itter, where whermacht major Josef gangl and US captain John Lee together defended the French political prisoners in a mediaeval castle against Nazi soldiers. Unfortunately Josef gangl was shot and killed. when trying to protect the French political prisoners. Ultimately battle was won when a Tennis player Jean Barotra, one of the prisoners, bravely escaped castle to call out for American reinforcements, and succeeded in its venture. The American reinforcements arrived at right time, and chased away the fleeing Nazis.

The battle of Castle Itter was fought on 5 May 1945, in the Austrian village of Itter in the North Tyrol region of the country, during the last days of the European Theater of World War II. Troops of the 23rd Tank Battalion of the 12th Armored Division of the US XXI Corps led by Captain John C. "Jack" Lee, Jr., a number of Wehrmacht soldiers led by Major Josef "Sepp" Gangl, SS-Hauptsturmführer Kurt-Siegfried Schrader, and recently freed French prisoners of war defended Castle Itter against an attacking force from the 17th SS Panzergrenadier Division until relief from the American 142nd Infantry Regiment of the 36th Division of XXI Corps arrived. The French prisoners included former prime ministers, generals, a tennis star, and Charles de Gaulle's sister. It is one of two known times during the war in which Americans and Germans fought side by side, the other being Operation Cowboy.

The *Nazi soldier.

For anyone confusee, the German army at that time was divided into SS and Wehrmacht. SS was Hitler‘s army, which were formed basically by nazis, and their duties had to do with murdering jews and stuff like that. Wehrmacht, in the other hand, was just the normal National Army and had nothing to do with nazism. Wehrmacht soldiers did have the swastika in their uniforms because they were still commanded by Hitler. But being Nazi, as opposed to SS, was not a requirement for joining the Wehrmacht. Also, as a German speaker, I don’t want to translate the word Wehrmacht because it sounds stupid when translated. Let’s just use it in German :D

This is partially true. The Wehrmacht was officially non-political, but in reality was VERY involved in the holocaust. while the SS were the main perpetrators of German Wartime Atrocities the Wehrmacht had their fair share as well (Although to a substantially lesser degree). It's not a bad thing that you said this though, it allows people like me to debunk it. The idea that the Wehrmacht were not involved in the crimes comitted by the Nazi Regieme is a still common misconceptionc called the "Clean Wehrmacht Myth". The myth originates fro just after WW2 ended and Germany was under allied occupation. The Western Allies wanted to make sure that the soon to be formed Federal Republic of Germany (or west germany) could defend itself from possible Soviet attack which meant they needed a standing army of their own. The problem is, the commanders and soldiers of this new army would have to be the same ones who just lost WW2. So, the Clean Wehrmacht myth was created to stem any public outrage this would give.

Wow cool mini film Mr spherical keep up the good work :)

MrSpherical: *makes a humorous video about the final battle at Castle Itter* Sabaton fans: Allow us to introduce ourselves~ Also Sabaton fans: JENNY AT THE GATES!

its historically accurate. its called the battle of castle itter. The castle was used as a prison for some high profile french POW, a member of czech resistance, and a famous tennis player. As it clear that the germans lost the war at this point the garrison abandoned their post. The french prisoner then send someone to find nearby allied troops. They find an american infantry units. Along the way they encounter a wehrmact german troops who proceed to surrender to the americans. The nearby SS troops then decide to attack the itter castle. Its dubbed the strangest battle in WW2 fought side by side by a rag tag group of american, wehrmacht, french POW, and some czech resistance group against the SS german division.

No matter who I watch making a video about this historical event it's always a great experience, but with MrSphereical that extra bit of humor and personality to these videos really makes it stand out. I'm really glad that this channel is doing so well and hopefully it'll keep getting more and more popular! So thank you MrSphereical

The castle is called Castle Itter, it was after Hiltter killed himself and Germany Surrendered. A German Weirmacht company that just surrendered to an American Airborn company and an SS officer who was also an Austrian resistance. The occupants of the castle were VIP prisoners. They included politicians, athletes and otheres. At the surrender, the SS left with a notice that they wold return to kill them all. They sent an athlete with an Austrian dialect over the walls to get help, the Americans, Weirmacht and single SS officer held off an entire SS battalion for over a day until the American Sherman tank division could arrive. The castle has not been repaired, it still bears the wounds inflicted that day.

The tennis ball player would just replace greaneades instead of balls ...XD

0:12 FORESHADOWING

I still cant believe they didnt make a movie or a game about this story-like battle.

6:50 imagine this guy just use his tennis racket to fly away to the litteral reinforcements with the harry potter flute just going to this guy

It's so epic to know that even those who did bad things knew when they could redeem themselves and take the first step...THIS VIDEO WAS EPICCC 🔥

3:24 Did he say "ball-owers?"

I am so excited about this! It's going be so good!

I want a movie of this.

Castle Itter, also you forgot the part we’re the tennis guy runs into a German machine gun nest an convinces them he’s a Austria forager

What a Legend 6:08 :(

Great video. Not all Germans were Nazis in war most were just soldiers serving their countries not the Nazi party

What a fucking legendary battle. A movie is needed about this

I just wanted you to know that you have great animations and good content and you deserve more subs

It's rather nice to see a video of "The Last Battle" & the respect given to the German soldiers(especially seeing officer Gangle sacrifice, as well as showing him being a KEY leader in the Austrian resistance 🇦🇹)

It's the end of the line, of the final journey, enemies leaving the past. And it's American troops and the German army, joining together at last!

5:05 it works better when the germans starts throwing grenade
