A fact from Battle of Castle Itter appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 26 July 2013 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that what has been called the strangest battle of World War II was fought at a medieval castle (pictured), and was the only battle of the war in which American and German soldiers fought as allies?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2013/July.

Allied victory?

In recognition of the involvement of French POWs and German anti-Nazis, is this more properly called an "Allied" victory, rather than an American one? I'm unsure, because the strange unique alliance that won the battle is difficult to describe in usual terms. Xoloz (talk) 17:02, 26 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This subject would make an excellent theme for a movie

Strange that this episode has not yet been used as a movie theme, don't you think? Thanks to Wikipedia, at least some people are now aware of this historical rarity. Amclaussen.
