I think the German officer, my apologies for not knowing how to properly write his name, should have also gotten a medal, after all he did gave his life, takes a unique type of man to do so.
I thought the same thing and I looked it up; you would be happy to know that Austria honored him as a hero and named a street after him, so that's close enough!
@@Uthor123 Thank you for sharing this, that's actually super great to see :)
His name major Joseph gangel
@@fhillipus8360 did he got honored? If he didn't, those awards are not fair. Thak you for the info.
@@overkings5514 yes he was honored as an Austrian resistance member a road was named after him
German soldier: ,,Never thought I'd die fighting side by side with an American." US soldier: ,,How about side by side with a friend." German soldier: ,,Aye... I could do that."
HA!!! Brilliant take from "Return of the King." 😂👍👍
I love this comment
Excellent Comment.
YAVOL!
Ja...I could do that.
This needs to be made into a movie
There is: its called 'The Last Battle' which I only learned because Sabaton made a song about the event for the movie.
@@wolfclaw719 thank you so much!
@@wolfclaw719 The movie was supposed to come out in 2019 but is still yet to
You can search for the series Hitler's Last Stand (S1 E4 - Enemy Allies). That episode depicts the battle of castle Itter
Yeah I’d check out the Sabaton Song
I've heard this story quite a few times and I think you all did a great job telling it in a brief period.
You all? Don’t you mean Y’all
@@texasdamercenary1368 no
@@texasdamercenary1368 It's the same thing genius.
@@texasdamercenary1368 Y'all is slang dont you mean 'you all'?
@@texasdamercenary1368 no, he's probably british like me, and one thing we hate is the word "yall"
This was a battle where the Whermacht teamed up with the U.S. Army and fought against the SS. The United States didn't team up with Nazis, they teamed up with the German army and fought against them.
True the whermact were mostly soldiers that were conscripts or men who believed in Germany and not an ideology people always call the whermact nazis without realizing they were mostly guys forced into fighting they also hated the ss there references of the whermact refusing the ss aid
“It’s American Troops and the German Army, joining together at last!”
And it’s the end of the line of the final journey, Enemies leaving the past
5th of May, V-day is just around the corner, 1945 the Fuhrer's reign at it's end
Jenny at the gates. As the SS open open fire, there's no time to waste the final battle begun.
Well I'd argue they'd been together for a lot longer just this time shooting at the same direction 😜
Was looking for this comment
I learned about Castle Itter from Sabaton. Though, I believe the title should be changed. Saying those Germans were Nazis is disgraceful. The commander of the Germans actually got killed while saving the ex-primeminister of France, Paul Reynard
That incorrect the German commander was trying to save the ex prime minister of France (Paul Reynard).
@@kevinrayo7045 yeah
SPOT-ON. The German commander despised Nazis! Most Wehrmacht troops did.
@@kevinrayo7045 But thank you for correcting me, I'll edit the comment
Wait so this is in fact Castle Itter? The title claims it was in ww1 not ww2
Rip Major Josef "Sepp" Gangl. Hero of the Austrian Resistance
Ik even if he was a major of a terrible country military he still had compassion and heart should have gotten a metal by now to his surviving family or something as a thank you
I legit learn something new everyday
Me to
I know it wasn’t that long ago but It’s so amazing how much thorough documentation we have on World War II
Imagine the history that didn’t survive the destruction 😕
That's because this in particular was a high-level thing
We need a movie about this incident. It's just too good of a story not to go without one.
And it’s the end of the line of the final battle Enemies leaving the past. And it’s American troops and the German army Joining together at last!
I always learn something while I watch
I read that as wash
“And It’s the end of the line, of the final journey, enemies leaving the past…”
And its American Troops and the German Army joining together at last
This story should be a movie.
These men were German soldiers not nazis, please remember this.
I will, my fellow warrior ✊
No,i dont think i will
@@samsum4525 then enjoy your ignorance. Alone.

One country is a safe place to visit. While the other, well it's safe to say. It's filled with all kinds of dangerous animals. Other than Mel Gibson and those discount ostriches that will defeat you any time you wage war on them.
"well good day mate let's put another shrimp on the barbie"
Good job infographics show. You actually did it my guy, you made everything more realistic, more realistic animated uniforms, equipment, borders, ect. This was what I always wanted.
Keep em comin, I'm binging these
I wouldnt call it strange tho, I’d call it the most emotional and wholesome battle of ww2…
This channel is a real gem
The German group: Maybe I don’t wanna be the bad guy anymore… The Americans: *nod in approval*
Huh so I got invaded by a bot…
Why are we talking about grandma
well, if you take a look at the Wehrmacht, they were really just the military, i think a lot of them did not want to follow the nazi regime, many of them were just soldiers. the SS, though, were essentially hitler’s personally paramilitary. so if you take a closer look at the germans fighting with the US during this battle, you’ll see why.
I demand a movie of this story!!! (Forgive my ignorance if it already exists)
Unfortunately not one yet 😔
@@partycrasher9660 let's have Clint Eastwood direct it
this definitely deserves a Medal of Honor campaign mission
Hey info graphics! Wanna say thanks for the great vids, keep it up!!!
Sabaton the last stand is here. German soldiers, US troops, Jenny at the gates, french officers who were POW and even a tennis star fighting against Nazis.
Its the last battle
They really switched teams right when the match was about to end but in real life
i love the thumbnail. it shows how different humans can look like. how different theyr cultures can be. how they differ in resources and rationality.
Gangl and Lee and their men set the prisoners freeeeeee And 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 -Sabaton’s “The Last Battle”
I love your content info graphic keep up the awsome work
You forgot to mention that during the battle, Jean Borotra, the tennis player mentioned at 2:08, allegedly vaulted off the castle wall to fetch the relief force, and led them to the scene.
6:23 Me testing if friendly fire if on.
What an awesome story and great narration. 🙏
According to TV Tropes this battle would be an example of "Enemy Mine."
This is not a strange battle but an incredible and heroic one.
This conflict is one of the most concise, physical embodiments of the Benevolent vs. the Malevolent. The Benevolent being a group of individuals from vastly different backgrounds and experiences, coming together for what they knew to be a righteous endeavor of life-saving purpose; and the Malevolent being a lesser group of individuals, from very similar backgrounds, with a mindset and actions of horrific, self-centered, unsubstantiated-vengeful, extinction-destructive-purposed aggression.
*Alternate Title: Stranger Things WW2 Style!!*
Ni
Yes
Great summary! Love it
One of my favorite stories an awesome painting of this is my desktop wallpaper
Stories like this give me hope in humanity's
I never noticed the new mic! Good job on that!
eyyyyyy new mic, glad you noticed too bro
Hey Infographics show! I really liked this new Video👍 Could you make a Video about the Battle of Monte Casino? My grandpa was a german who was killed in the battle. 23 years old. Have a nice day everyone!
That game you were advertising at the beginning of the video seems like a lot of fun.
When I initially heard of this story just a short time ago. I learned that the German military car sort of the equal to the Jeep was known as the Kubelwagon.
As usual I learned something that I didn't heard that before 🌟
Interesting and worthwhile video.
Wow this is crazy
* looks at title * Ah yes I remember learning about the Nazis in WWI.
finally someone who notices that
Those WW1 Nazis when WW2 starts: “Part 2! PART 2 PART 2 PART 2!”
I like you way you tell the stories. It like you know them by heart, and not read..
There was a movie made about this a couple of years ago. Forgot the name but a good telling of the story. The saddest part indeed was the killing of the German Major.
Nice video
They way he pronounced the French name was exquisite
Ten of these videos taught me more about history than the entirely of my time in public school system.
I love this episode RIP Gongle, And I hope I spelt your name correctly.
When ur team losing so u switch teams lol
How hasn't this been made into a movie ?
Because of a Hollywood equation Germans + WWII = Bad guy Only exception is if they are a female that is the love interest for the protagonist. Having dudes switch sides doesn’t fit what they show
RIP Major Gangl. You will always be remembered as a legend🫡🫡🫡
This story was told very well
A great movie concept.
My grandfather used to tell me stories about how he wasn't there...
I know this story, this is what I have been waiting for to upload, Battle of Castle Itter.
I saw this in a live movie on the history channel! Both very good flicks!
I love this story
The Germans also worked with the Americans, Russians and Japanese during the frightening battle in an old air site called nacht der untoten
Nah bro that was der reise. Nacht was where.....they..... were discovered
After the downfall, a castle besieged Facing the Nazis awaiting relief Gangl and Lee and their men set the prisoners free And 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
Alternative title: The Nazis got autobalanced and is forced to fight with their former enemy
no
Sounds like Chivalry II
Yep, I saw this! It was cool.
Yes
You are first
No IAM not first
6:26 I swear I just heard a TF2 medic yelling for another medic in the background.
This really puts a smile on my face. I always love learning more and more of WW2. By the way, I'll try that sponsored game (Conflict of Nations) sounds really fun and something I've been looking for to play Edit: Nope, mobile version is not available at least for my phone. I'll get it on PC then.
I didn't see anything in the chat
@@rooseveltingudam6354 lol
This channel is better than ANY history class hands down ‼️
yes the kitty praises you
Yea bc no paperwork or notes
@@Diamondr11Blue IKR and everything is explained so perfectly
If you like these check out mark Felton productions best WW2 history channel on youtube
@@Rezim_Panistan now my question is who are you talking about?
Didn't Sabaton have a song about about this
Yes, the Final Battle
Yes
ok so, im not sure im only4 mins into the vid but, wasent this vid uploaded like 1 yr ago, i feel rendezvous. seems like a familiar story
Together, America and Germany can accomplish anything and win any war… as long as we team up and accept each other
I already knew about the story from the title
I like the story of the Christmas Eve truce in ww1
I'm disappointed that Infographics did not cite the song The Last Battle from The Last Stand album by Sabaton as a source. 😢
There’s a song about this battle by the Power Metal band called Sabaton. The song is called “The Last Battle” and it’s awesome.
Never thought I'd die fighting side by side with a German. What about side by side with a friend? Aye I can do that.

catle itter was the best crossover i've ever seem
I’m using the link. That game looks great. World domination 🌎
I love how it goes from " .... and for his bravery he got his countries second highest award, the distinquished Service Cross- thanks again for our sponser!"
How is this story not yet a movie?? Or it's been made already?? 😎
Slowly beginning to think the infographics team has a slight obsession with Nazis.
And serial killers
@@1funkateer175 yes
So did the history channel
*_S l i g h t ?_*
I wonder what their search history looks like
You should make a video about the Greek Sacred Squadron of WW2... You will be surprised...
A movie needs to be made about this
war really brings people together
This app is actually lit tho
