A close second in the last poll was the story about the Battle of Castle Itter. It is oftentimes described as the strangest battle of the Second World War. A tiny U.S. army unit joined forces with a Wehrmacht unit that defected, in order to defeat a larger division of fanatical SS soldiers that tried to capture a castle that housed French VIP prisoners such as former PMs Eduard Daladier and Paul Reynaud.
Difficult to wrap your head around, but fascinating nonetheless!
I hope you enjoy, have a great weekend!
