Schloss Itter,
as it is known in German, sits amidst
Austria's Tyrol Mountains. Positioned over a ravine, a short bridge connects
the 13th-century castle to a nearby mountain. Just south of
the Austrian-German border, the Tyrol region
is of legendary concern. Mountains separated
by countless rivers, threaded by country roads, form natural defenses
for retreating German troops. A recurrent fear
of Allied supreme commander General Dwight D. Eisenhower
is a final stand in the Alps. As the American forces
move south, they are ordered
to cut off mountain passes to prevent the formation
of a Nazi redoubt
