Further more you know nothing about SS and Waffen-SS and even about germans and the genocide done by allies after war. You can look it up at William Toel. Go and research better.

      СС части штурмовавшие замок были подразделением панцергренадерской дивизии СС Гетц фон Берлихинген. Да той самой которая воевала с Американцами с самого начала с Нормандии, американцы их прозвали дивизия Железный кулак 👊 потому что их не удавалось полностью разбить солдаты этой части были в основном из заграничных немцев и особо дерзко и стоически сражались чем другие части нацистов, ведь по сути это были солдаты без родины, их родиной был только нацистский режим, кто то из них был из югославии румынии из обратных переселенцев из сша из эльзаца ну так если по имени дивизии подумать то барон фон Берлихинген возглавлял разбойничьи отряды и управлял крестьянской войной и имел наглость выступить против самого европейского императора кайзера священной римской империи. Это качество солдат дивизии признал однажды даже Паттон. Практически уничтоженные многочисленной богатой американской армией они солдаты дивизии остатки уходили и снова собирались чтобы дать бой в отличие от потрепанных от многолетней аойны солдат вермахта мечтавших вдруг как то увидеть мельком свою семью и солдат 12й дивизии отмороженных юнцов они были довольно стойкой частью врага.

    It's weird thinking that these elderly Frenchmen might have been WWI veterans, fighting in the same conditions and thinking "Now this is the battle I'm used to when I was younger" since there were a lot of forts in WWI. Heck, some of them might've even been from Verdun, fighting in fortresses like Vaux or Douaumont.
    P.S: I wonder how the ghost of the lord who made this castle would've felt, when the walls managed to withstand modern weaponry.

    If there is a movie about this battle, I would definitely watch it. It is a perfect blend of action & comedy. The best part, it is based on true story.
