About this listen

In this episode of Quickfire, we take a lighthearted look at one of World War II’s most bizarre moments: The Battle of Castle Itter. Picture this—a ragtag group featuring Nazis fighting against their fellow Nazis, American GIs, a French tennis champion, and a tank affectionately dubbed Besotted Jenny, all banding together to defend an ancient Austrian castle. Tune in as Alex and I wander through this wild and weird chapter of history. Help support the show on Patreon! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
