The events that led to the bizarre Battle of Castle Itter in May 1945 began when the SS, who had been in control of the castle as a annex of the Dachau concentration camp since 1943, temporarily fled the area, leaving the prisoenrs to fend for themselves and giving them the opportunity to send out their cook, Andreas Krobot, to find help. Krobot found Josef Gangl who himself went out to search for help, eventually finding Captain Jack Lee and his men.
But what if before abandoning the castle, the SS decided to execute the prisoners, leaving no one for the anti-Nazi Germans and the Americans to save? Does this have a impact on the post-war world in some way?
