Episode 29 - Castle Itter.. Last stand!!!

Welcome Milk B'Barians!! - Tanks. Tennis players. American GIs. Nazi soldiers. And… former French presidents?

It sounds like fiction, but it's one of the wildest, totally true World War II stories you’ve never heard. In this episode, we head to a crumbling Austrian castle for a final showdown so bizarre it defies belief. As the war in Europe gasped its final breaths, an unlikely alliance formed: American troops, defecting German soldiers, and a ragtag group of French VIPs held off a vicious SS assault in one of history’s strangest last stands.

There’s gunfire echoing off stone walls, whispered betrayals in shadowy hallways, and even a Wehrmacht officer fighting with the Allies.
