It’s 1945 and Hitler is dead. The remaining Nazi leadership is expected to surrender any day but not all Nazis are in agreement. When the guards of the castle turned POW prison, Castle Itter, flee their post, a group of French political prisoners are forced to defend themselves. Rumors of a rogue Nazi captain hellbent on maintaining the Third Reich threaten the lives of all the prisoners at Castle Itter. With the help of members of the German resistance, a small band of American soldiers, and one Sherman tank, Castle Itter makes its final stand in the final hour of WW2.

The script is written by George Clymer, Paul Sinor, Colleen Sinor and Geoff Meed, and the cast consists of American, Serbian and Croatian actors including Daniel Grogan, Frano Lasić, Boris Lukman, Laurent Rouy, Marko Filipovic, Uglješa Spasojević and Petar Arsić.

Among the members of the crew are costume designer Ana Guzmić and set designer Ivan Ćirović.

Battle for Castle Itter is a coproduction of US companies The Asylum and Not The Funeral Home, and Serbia’s Red Production. It is produced by Justin Martell, Seager Dixon, Matt Manjourides, Miloš Đukelić and Vladimir Đukelić.

The shooting took place at locations in the town of Pančevo, at the Kalegemdan Fortress in the centre of the Serbian capital and on the nearby mountain of Avala.
