Episode description

It was April 3rd when a band of American Soldiers teamed up with Austrian Resistance Fighters and Defected Vermach forces, tipped off by a Croatian Prisoner and a Czech Cook, marched to a castle in the Alps to save the lives of a bunch of French Political Prisoners, 2 Prime Ministers and a Tennis Star.

The Story of Castle Itter is one of strange bedfellows and unparalleled bravery where 30 men would hold off over 100 SS officers in one of the strangest battles of World War 2.
