Overview:
The U.S. 36th Infantry and 12th Armored Divisions sped through southern Germany and Austria in the last week of the war, rounding up the remnants of the Third Reich. In early May, the Americans learned of the existence of a castle, Schloss Itter, being used to house “celebrity” prisoners, including French prime ministers Daladier and Renaud, Generals Gamelin and Weygand, tennis star Jean Borota, and others. Lt John "Jack" Lee, Jr., of the Company B, 23rd Tank Battalion, 12th Armored Division took a tank, the “Besotten Jenny”, and a handful of African-American soldiers eager to get into the fighting, and went in search of the castle. He found it on May 4, and its senior officer was only too happy to turn it over to the Americans, but there was a problem. The surrounding area was filled with SS soldiers, the remnants of Kampfgruppe Buchner, who were angry that the castle had been surrendered and planned to take it back.Attacker: American/French/German (U.S. CCR, 12th Armored Division and 2nd Battalion, 142nd Infantry Regiment, 36th Infantry Division and Former French POW's with the German Itter Garrison)
