Though I read incessantly, I rarely post here as I prefer to keep reading rathar than writing. I'll make an exception for The Last Battle by Stephen Harding. Extremely well-written, this small book deals with American ad German regulars teaming up against the SS to save VIP French POWs. 'Nuff said!
Sorry for the dumb question, but I gotta ask it: Is this an account of a real battle?? It actually happened?
Sounds like it: http://www.amazon.com/The-Last-Battle-German-Soldiers/dp/0306822083
IIRC Starfury brought up this book a few weeks ago but couldn't remember the title. Now we all know. Thx Bis!

The battle falls into the "Strange but true" category. Best WW II book I've read in months.
Huh, cool. Thanks Bis; sounds like one I should check out.
