May 1945. Hitler is dead, and the Third Reich is little more than smoking rubble. No GI wants to be the last man killed in action against the Nazis. But for cigar-chewing, rough-talking, hard-drinking, hard-charging Captain Jack Lee and his men, there is one more mission: rescue fourteen prominent French prisoners held in an SS-guarded castle high in the Austrian Alps. It’s a dangerous mission, but Lee has help from a decorated GermanWehrmacht officer and his men, who voluntarily join the fight.
Based on personal memoirs, author interviews, and official American, German, and French histories, The Last Battle is the nearly unbelievable story of the most improbable battle of World War II—a tale of unlikely allies, bravery, cowardice, and desperate combat between implacable enemies.

Den världsberömda regissören Steven Spielberg har sagt att de bästa filmerna som gjorts eller skall göras kan summeras med en replik. Så lyssna på detta: -"Amerikanska och tyska soldater slåss emot SS nazister för att skydda en massa kändisar i en medeltida borg dagarna efter att Hitler begått självmord" Att denna bok inte har blivit film är inte en fråga om dumhet utanför att historien är för otrolig." Varför otrolig"? säger ni

En bra bok med lite annorlunda berättelser om slutet på ww2. Alltid intressant när det berättas om specifika personer/soldater på marknivå och deras öden.
