It's May 5th, 1945. Adolf Hitler has just committed suicide five days prior. Chief of Operations Officer Alfred Jodl and Field Marshall Vilhelm Keital will order the unconditional surrender of all German armed forces two days from now. It will be on this day, however, that the strangest battle of World War II will unfold. Under the ashes of Stalingrad, Kursk, Normandy, and the innumerable battlefields of Europe, the vision of the Third Reich has now perished. Millions of German soldiers paid the ultimate price and now millions more are left to defend their own cities, towns, and families. Striving to retain their honor and dignity at all costs, they were forced to battle their own elite fighting force; the Waffen-SS. While Germany’s struggles in World War II have come to an end, another internal conflict has just begun, leaving their House Divided.
