I would love see a event for the battle of castle Itter as it is very overlooked and should be included what do you guys think?

Well, at least it's included in the Sabaton Soundtrack 2 (Song "The Last Battle") 
But besides of that it sounds to me as if it would be just another flavour event like Olympic games and Hindenburg... Maybe a bit more conditional like "Komet sighted" (which is more an easter egg than a flavour event, imho). While I generally like flavour events I doubt anyone reads them after the first time. So it's just another popup...
And if Castle Itter had a specific event, almost any remarkable battle should have its flavour event(s). And that led just to another clicking-popups-away-frenzy.

It's not a question of PoWs, as you could mention the battle just fine without mentioning PoWs, more of a problem related both to the size (it's way too small an event to fit the global scope of WWII) and the fact that battle events tend to easily not fit what's actually going on in the world.
In HOI3, I can raid an enemy province with a single division and retreat, and get a flavour event about how the city fell after a major battle. Or I can fight a bloody battle over Paris and then be told the city was declared an open city and troops were allowed to just march in. Of course I can pretend that only applies to the downtown area and the other urban combat I just fougth was over suburbs or whatever, but still, this kind of events are tricky to pull off.

Agree with this. Events or pop-ups should only be used when we have to make a decision relevent to our game. I want pop-ups when the enemy is invading my port not when there is an olympic games.Well, at least it's included in the Sabaton Soundtrack 2 (Song "The Last Battle")

It could be a sort-of easter egg that fires with very specific circumstances (the right province seeing combat between US and Germany), but I doubt it is worth the effort.
A persistent switch that disables flavour events would be even better - or a "see every event only once" option.
