The Second World War is known for its brutality, with both the Allies and the Axis powers fighting tooth and nail for supremacy.
In spite of this, however, there were some incidents in which soldiers from one side actively or inadvertently aided their enemies. Whether this was done out of a sense of morality, ideology, or some reason known only to them, here are a few examples of when Axis and Allies worked together.

If you going to cut your video the way you constantly do all the time, I think you should do all your commercials at the very beginning because you keep killing the vibe each time you waste most of the video with a near 3 minute commercial just do it in the beginning because you simple history videos are becoming more unwatchable each time you keep doing that.
Can you make a video of which ones better swat Or military
Hmmm ok then
Like video
I want to see a video on what wouldve happened if Germany tried to surrender or make an armistace with the UK and USA in 1944 before the Russians could reach Germany in order for them to save themselves.

Dom Toretto: I don’t have friends, I have family
"Price, some day you'll find that cuts both ways."
I read that in makarovs voice then I read that in captain price voice 🫡
Hmm from what I’ve learned on the Sabaton History TH-cam channel The German officer was actually one of the two men who met Captain Lee and told him of the situation at Itter and they got German support on route.
This is correct!
Sabaton History is a great source for this kind of bizzare, out of the ordinary wartime histories, the information is pretty accurate, too.
Truer words have never been spoken, besides by Sabaton, of course.
Heard about this from Sabaton
theres also an SS officer in that battle too if i remember correctly, he also played a big part in the battle itself, although i cant remember his name
Another small fact about Gangle he was notorious for helping the local resistance movements long before the battle of castle itter occurred
Somewhere I read that he was in fact anti-fascist German resistance member.
His name was Gangl, without an "E" at the end
Bro was based
He was a native Austrian so when the war was turning, he knew Germany was done so he made a pact with the Austrian Resistance to feed info against the Nazis.
@gileadisonfirePov: you’re a 7 yr old “sigma”
this is a certified simple history classic
*”Teams have been auto-balanced”*
You are now defending!
always the case for Russian Civil War servers
Castle Itter will always be my favorite story in WW2. American and German troops along with the prisoners fighting off SS troops until rescue.
Rest well Gangal, you and your men fought well.
Oh, and there's ONE SS Officer who was befriended by the French POWs that joined in the defense too. Can't forget about that little tidbit.
They should make Itter Castle a movie if it’s not already
I'm pretty sure there's one or a couple of them
@@codycallaway9057I am sure there isn't. I was desperate to see one after hearing The Last Battle from Sabaton and was utterly disappointed when I didn't find any. Maybe I didn't search hard enough, so if you know about something I would be glad for some recommendations.
There may not be a movie, but there's a really good episode of Hitler's Last Stand
th-cam.com/video/nSmYd9wshcw/w-d-xo.html
Absolutely. There's probably a couple already but it would be interesting to see a new one.
Fr
The Battle of itter Castle shows how much the diferencie was between the Wechmart and the SS, the SS were loyal to Hitler and it's ideals to the end, while the Wechmart were probably done with it and didn't wanted Germany to suffer anymore
As it happened right at the end of the war it wouldn't surprise me if a lot of the Wehrmacht were pressed into service by the Third Reich. Most of them didn't want to be there anymore fighting for a lost cause.
Wehrmacht swore an oath of allegiance to Adolf Hitler.
They more often than not assisted SS in their crimes.
They massacred Jews in Ghettos and killed prisoners of war. Stop with this "clean Wehrmacht" bullshit.
You are mostly right, but not quite. There was an SS officer fighting at the US and Wehrmacht's side as well.
@@jpj77263Name was Kurt-Siegfried Schrader. Had been sent to Itter to recuperate and ended up befriending the inmates.
Earlier in the war, many of the most brutal crimes on the eastern front were committed by regular German troops. This idea that there were nazis and everyone else were just regular joes caught up in it all is an idea people need to get out of their head. It’s cool that some stories like this exist, but for most of the war those men played their role in the horror just fine. Don’t read too much into isolated events, even when they’re great tales. There’s a reason why the entirety of Germany had to go through a massive “denazification” process after the war.
_"If you wanna see what people are made of, start a war."_
I like that this quote goes both ways
Starting with two of my favourite Sabaton inspirations. Nice
Exactly why I clicked knowing full well the story was gonna be told
Switzerland: I'm neutral
Swiss volunteers in the Waffen-SS: Maybe, maybe not
Switzerland had American Bombers Bomb a few of their Cities...so Swiss Volunteers into the Waffen-SS were probably victims of that.
And it's the end of the line of the final journey
Enemies leaving the past
And it's American troops and the German army

Snoopy's subplot
In war, it don't matter who's side you're on. In the end, you're all still human. Sometimes you must put aside the differences you have for one another, and go for who deserves absolute retribution for their most insane and immoral sins. No one should be treated as just "a number".
Very true. However, many of the young and people who are in power don't learn from history. For example, the COVID 19 quarantine is like the Spanish Flu before or during World War 1. History tends to repeat itself.
@@rgloria40 Eeeyep. But now I'm expecting an argument to start aaaaany minute now.
@@GuardianStriker This is how Trump parallels Cleveland? Sit back and watch the fireworks.
Communists are the only ones who are just "a number." No such thing as "self" under such a horrid system.

The battle of Niš occurred on November 7th 1944. The Soviet army and the Yugoslav resistance liberated Niš on October 14th. Six days later Belgrade, and Vrbas were liberated, while Novi Sad was liberated on October 23rd 1944. What was suppose to be done in Niš (on November 7th 1944 I mean), there was suppose to be a parade dedicated to mark the October revolution during that time. I think that this can't be considered as a cooperation between Allies and Axis. It can be more considered as an accident which happened due to the lack of information (but I'm not here to judge). Since you mentioned P-38's, I can add that at the end of WWII, there were couple of B-17's and P-38's that landed on Sombor's airfield in 1945, also in Yugoslavia (now Serbia). On Sombor airfield, besides US crew, there were Soviet crew operating on that airfield. What happened next was that Yugoslav soldiers and crew, they repainted American B-17 G, and also P-38 to have Yugoslav markings. One rumor about B-17 g says that this airplane was sent to USSR, while other says it remained in service in Yugoslav air force for one year (what is true from these two things, it's hard to say). Also in service was a P-38 Lighting, and it was in service also for one year in Yugoslav air force. There is a rumor that in the depths of Belgrade's museum of aviation are now B-17G, and also a P-38 L.
After WWII, Yugoslavia received 8 P-51 D mustangs, and also 4 B-24 Liberators, believe it or not.
There were also cases of such interactions on the pacific theater. There were lots of Indians who sided with the Japanese against the British. Additionally, there were quite a few Korean collaborators who fought with the Japanese for special privileges and even a few Americans who lived in Japan and never spoke up against Japan’s aggression for special privileges. I feel they deserve a mention too
In this light, a little known detail of the Pacific Theater is how the UK kept a number ofJapanese POWs as a conscript auxiliary force until 1948 as forced labor and to help police British colonial possessions (read: suppress native revolts) -- look for "Mountbatten's Samurai"
My great grandfather on my father's side of the family fought in the Battle for Castle Itter and he was one of the wehrmacht soldiers, my father told me stories about him when I was younger but he passed a decade before I was born, my father told me that he never talked about the war much except for the Battle for Castle Itter
Both Charlie & Franz lived in close proximity to each other by chance. Franz emigrated to Canada & settled in Vancouver. Charlie lived in Seattle
Franz later learned of the story through a newspaper & wrote a letter to Charlie
They died a few months apart
Sabaton - The Last Battle
It's about the battle of Itter Castle. Great song.
Sabaton - No Bullets Fly
Ye Olde Pub and the Bf 109 (Charlie Brown and Franz Stigler incident)
0:48 That looks like flag of Yugoslavia from 1943.-1946.
3:48 All I have now is Sabaton playing in my head when watching this bit. Best to watch the animated music video on this if you want?
Brilliant video. Just a note, on 10:55 you did not include the Danish flag, even though they were the first ones you mentioned
Those storys always remind me of the storys my grandparents told me.
When english bombers attacked and the airhorn was activated all children and women went to the basement and the men took signalcolored shirts or other obvious signs and ran outside on the cropfields.
They signaled that their houses are inhabiting civilians and the bombers dropped the bombs before the house or flew off to somewhere else.
The house of my grandparents was only hit once by a bomb in the whole war and has still a crack in the middle to this day.
12:57 Why does one of those German soldier have a Soviet RPG, a weapon that didn’t enter service until the 1950s?
The animators were lazy i think....LOL
I like how Allies and Axis are working together as a team.
Americans and germans working together in WW2 shows the future of our two countries. Best friends now ❤🖤
one of my favorite stories my great grandfather told me when he was in ww2 was Itter Castle. He had a buddy named Harry Basses.
Subatomic, Last Battle moment:
Amazing video as always! Good work on the animation.
I finally saw you! I seen your video's for years! Badass boss!
13:01 did the German just shoot a Russian RPG7 that was designed 40 years after WW2 😂
I think is supposed to be a panzerfaust or a panzershreck or maybe a captured bazooka
@@abdhbfdhdfhf yeah that what it should of been yeah but it’s actually a RPG7 I’d say there just using already created animation rather then making a new one from scratch but there still awesome videos I just thought it was funny
dude, the rpg7 was designed in 1958🤣🤣
still anachronistic
@@GrinXpedia rpg 2 was rolled out first rpg 7 was rolled out in Vietnam in the 70s my point was not in 1943
The fact that the two pilots survived the war AND became friends afterwards is incredibly heartwarming.
That first story be a good movie.
Very nice Sabaton reference in the opening
Agreed.
Agreed.
2:17 - 2:19 AINT NO WAY THAT GUY WHO HAD A BOMB DROPPED ON HIS HEAD SURVIVED THAT AND JUST WALKED IT OFF
In one alternate universe there is a common cause for Axis and Allies to unite.

Yes and the movie will be called:
Unholy Alliance 2: armistice this
When I saw this video, my first words were "about time you made such video!". Now we just need is a movie.
First one: Sounds like something you would see in a Video game.
I like the redone version of the first story, looks cleaner than the first time you talked about that.
Simple History thought they could give an RPG-7V to the Germans defending the bunker and thought we wouldn't notice.
I always het goosebumps front the pilot story, especially them becoming friends
There are quite a few stories of former Wehrmacht soldiers and US soldiers becoming friends after the war. I think on DD a german machine gunner also got friend with an american GI.
You should check out sabatons song on this, the last battle. There's also a song about ye old pub called no bullets fly
There is also an incident documented, which took place in May of 1945 on the Rügen island, where Soviet and Wehrmacht troops together were saving the inhabitans of a German orphanage from rape / violent attacks of other Soviet troops. Achim von Borries made a movie out of this stuff called „4 Tage im Mai“ (Four days in May) in 2011…
Gotta love simple history
When the British took control of Vietnam (French IndoChina at the time) at the end of world war 2 they let the Japanese keep their weapons and they both worked together to fight the Viet Minh. They were doing pretty well until the Frogs insisted they leave and we all know how it went after that...
The story of Castle Itter begs to be made into a movie.
Man you definitely quoted sabaton 0:34
I WANT an Itter Castle movie!!!
According to TV Tropes this would be an example of "Enemy Mine."
It’s called the browning high power
Lol, thats a good one
I love your voice. Its engaging to watch your videos.
12:56 Care to explain how this soldier managed to wield an RPG7 during WW2?
Time travel.
A movie about gangl needs to be made to remember a hero
It's crazy to see that the voice has a man behind it, and not a computer. He's just that self-modulated that it sounds unreal XD
You have a kickass badass voice. You rock Man!!! Respect!
13:00 An RPG during World War II. This is what you call a 'Simple History'.
Great stories 😊
It is a great paradox indeed.
holy crap i did not know the 33rd grenadier division used RPGs 😆12:55
4:02
Dang Lucy really got Charlie Brown in over his head.
Your a War Hero, Charlie Brown
We need live action movies of these events
They seriously need to make a movie about the last battle. Its too freakishly true, its a must be told story.
I really thought the battle of hurtgen would be here, because something similar happened.
The sound of your narrative voice is excellent.
13:27 that’s how I finished just about every single essay I ever wrote in school 😂 rephrasing the intro line
This was certainly the strangest and wildest battle of the war. Notwithstanding the VIPs and German American cooperation and fighting alongside each other.
wow! this was fascinating! keep it up Simple History!
I love the song “The Last Battle” by Sabaton because it perfectly portrays this moment in history!
The second story about Stigler just has to be made into a film, would be absolutely amazing.
You should make a video about the Norwegian campaign
Or about Soviet occupation of norwegian Finnmark !!!
The RPG-7 in WWII used by the SS nice!
One part missed about Ye Olde Pub is that the oxygen tanks were knocked out and the pilots went hypoxic, the plane dropped out of the sky and was only saved when the plane descended low enough for the pilots to regain both consciousness and control of the plane, it was during the climb after regaining consciousness that Stiegler caught sight of Ye Olde Pub.
For those not so familiar, Stiegler flew to the side of the aircraft and was able to see blood spray in the interior of the plane through a gaping hole the surviving crew were desperately bracing trying not to fall out of. It was this sight that made Stiegler consider the human element and tried to render humanitarian efforts.
The entire world war is a case of one side "actively or inadvertently aiding their enemies".

You forgot the time when many dead soldiers & civilians suddenly woke up with bloodlust and mauled the nearby garrison and civilians, forcing both the axis and allies to work together to survive the cannibal onslaught
Outstanding I learned some interesting new facts
CRAZY how DICE made those boring war stories instead of using the the first one for BFV
There should be a movie made about the battle of castle itter and with its showcasing around the world finally absolving the German people of the crimes of their ancestors.
The German people like every people from other nations should be able to be proud of their country without having to constantly apologize for what some of their ancestors once did. If we applied this rule for everyone, everybody had to apologize for their ancestors crimes.
We British should supposedly be ashamed of our colonial ancestors from 350 years ago, but Germans get a pass for last century?
Here's my suggestion: if you weren't involved in something, it's NOTHING to do with you.
It’s mostly the western countries
No one is blaming the German people for Germany's actions in WW2
12:56 is that an RPG
and why the yak 3 and 9 got french camo
One of the coolest battles ever!
The guy with 2 right hands in the thumbnail threw me.😂
Its the end of the line of the final journey, enemies leaving the past. Its the American troops and the German army, fighting together at last
13:00 First recorded use of RPG-7
For me, if Japan sided with US instead, their entrance to the war may have been so majestic.
Let's see, I've got nose on at least two Sabaton Tunes here. The Final Battle and No Bullets Fly
I wonder if there’s any modern day instances of enemies working together
The strangest battle in WW2
My boy painted himself just to not be counted towards treason
Merry Christmas simple history
Minute 1:03 is a Yugoslav flag in the background
Why is there a Yugoslavian flag on the camp at 0:44
The thumbnail is so badass i clicked. You've got your view
"We had to show the people we weren't all like him. They will see we put our principles above personal gain"
The lesson of the Battle of Itter Castle? EVERYONE thinks Nazis are bastards. *EVERYONE.*
But in WW2 fought regular armies against each other, with own badges, weapons, uniforms.
You have known your enemy,
nowadays you don`t know who is the enemy.
The Wehrmacht absolutely hated the Nazi’s. This happened more then once in WW2 with incidents between both Nazi’s and the German Army
