The Last Battle by Stephen Harding is about this and it is an excellent read.

Wehrmacht =/= SS
An American corollary would be normal Army troops versus fanatical, true believer CIA agents. While the former would surrender to live another day, the latter would die to the last man.

I had the same question. Based on a tiny bit of research, they had defied a retreat order, and it appears, decided to become resistance forces/traitors depending on what side you view it from. I'd love more information on it, if anyone can point me to a decent source.
