The Battle for Castle Itter was fought in the Austrian North Tyrol village of Itter on 5 May 1945, in the last days of the European Theater of World War II.
Troops of the 23rd Tank Battalion of the 12th Armored Division of the US XXI Corps led by Captain John C. "Jack" Lee, Jr., a number of Wehrmacht soldiers led by Major Josef "Sepp" Gangl, SS-Hauptsturmführer Kurt-Siegfried Schrader, and recently freed French prisoners of war defended Castle Itter against an attacking force from the 17th SS Panzergrenadier Division until relief from the American 142nd Infantry Regiment of the 36th Division of XXI Corps arrived.
The French prisoners included former prime ministers, generals and a tennis star. It is the only known time during the war in which Americans and Germans fought side by side. Popular accounts of the battle have called it the strangest battle of World War II.
Reading this article was a wild ride. I'm surprised there's not an action comedy movie about this already.

There's a decent book about the battle, The Last Battle that is supposedly being adapted for a movie but no news in like 5 years.
Facebook started showing me literal Nazis as possible friend suggestions recently. Great service.
Reminder that Facebook the organisation know what damage they're doing, both in detail and scope, and they're doing it on purpose. The word gets thrown about a lot, but Facebook is literally evil.

Sabaton wrote a song about it called The Last Battle! It's very Sabatony.
It recently recommend a large naked man who wanted to find other men to wrestle with. I blame being friends with @AJR.
It wouldn't surprise me! I find pictures of me shared in all kinds of places. I once found a random match of mine had that ended up on bearhug fetish site.
Knowing for a fact that your enemy has bespoke garbage facades for their armoured vehicles so as to hide them amongst the ubiquitous garbage of an urban warfare environment will do nothing to ease your mind whilst fighting in the urban warfare environment it might even make you feel a little worse about the whole benighted endeavour

It looks like something I'd see in your Secret Satan gift posts. Just less actual knives.

Damn
I think they know something I don't.
Of course they do. They are causing most of it.
it's that I wouldn't be in uh, a uniformed service, so it's like "hell yeah guerrilla fashion maybe I'll get a cockade"

I've been getting a ton of Russians over the last few years and I have no idea why.

Basically so a ground-based rapid response to a Chinese invasion can be hidden from Chinese air power.

by the same logic, since everybody knows armies use woodland camouflage, all you have to do is add all trees to the target list.

I dont want to 4D chess but if it draws fire from cities and infastructure thats a win too
Wow, that's real? That looks like something out of a tarantino movie
Far out
A bit more info on the Ghost Car. Meyer apparently took it home after the war and used it as his private car, only repainted orange
Reading the thread it looks like a missile shooting another missile
I don't know why, but I was hoping for the "in space" bit to mean that a satellite was involved, possibly with a big net on a stick
?
That seems significant
Then that is the end of MAD
