Title: The Last Battle: When U.S. and German Soldiers Joined Forces in the Waning Hours of World War II in Europe Author: Stephen Harding Narrator: Joe Barrett Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 11 minutes Release date: August 30, 2013 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4 of Total 1 Genres: World Publisher's Summary: 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 German Wehrmacht 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.
