yeah, i saw a documetnal about it or read it. That the germans lost that battle even though they outnumbered the enemies, but they say, that they saw this angels on top of their enemies, and i dont remember what they made, but they protected them, and made the germans lose the battle. It was something like that.

I can't find anything on that, but I did find this. It's from World War I.

"...Hitler who was literally homeless and hopeless joined the army but was only seen fit to run letters on the battlefield- a very dangerous job, which is said that his survival was miraculous and his comments to his fellow soldiers was that a ghost protected him from the flying bullets. "

Was a ghost protecting Hitler because he was destined to lead Germany into WWII. If Hitler died in World War I would another psycho-dictator have taken control?

Adolf Hitler is predestined to become a German dictator. read quatrains by Nostradamus. Nostradamus calls him "Mars" (god of war ) in quatrain 24 of century 6.
and calls him "German heart" in quatrain 74,century 5 and calls him "Hister" in quatrain 24, century 2.

. . .This kind of stuff always interested me, and as I've done a little research in this area, thought I'd submit this;

Angels of Mons-
The Truth Behind the Legend

August 1914 in Flanders, the first major battle of World War I . . . At Mons, British troops are held back by German forces, who outnumber them. The British fight fiercely, but in the end they must retreat or be trapped. They succeed in making an orderly withdrawel, but suffer heavy casualities. These would have been even worse, if not for two factors. Firstly, the British had excellent marksmen, and the British riflemen had been trained in rapid-fire techniques. At times, the German troops believed they were facing machine-gunners. Also, each British soldier carried an entrenching tool; this tool allowed them to throw up protective earthen ramparts in minutes. Thus, even exposed units could shield themselves quickly, allowing them a chance to fight back.
In itself, this was an impressive retreat, in that British training and equipment allowed them to greatly reduce injuries and loss of life. Grim as the outcome was, it could have been much worse.
By Christmas 1915, widespread rumors had taken the credit for the successful retreat away from the hard-working British soldiers, and had given it to a supernatural agent. The story said that St. George himself, patron of England, had led a host of angels and ghostly warriors from the past to shield the e British retreat. While it is a beautiful and appealing story, it has no certifiable basis in actual events.
There has been no shortage of people who have stepped forward to say that they saw it, or that they know someone who's cousin was at Mons. None of these people can be traced to any records indicating that they were present at Mons. Discredited stories have continued to be reprinted and quoted, nonetheless.
The story seems to have originated with a short story by Arthur Machen, The Bowmen. It was printed on September 29, 1914, in the afternoon and evening editions of the London Evening News. It was the first mention of anything resmbling the later "Angels of Mons" story.
This tale begins with a massive retreat by the British Expeditionary Forces. One of the soldiers remembers St. George and cries out a motto he'd seen once in a depiction of him- "Adsit Anglis Sanctus Georges" ("St. George help the English"). Thousands followed suit and called out to St. George. Miraculously, a long line of ghostly English archers appears to cut down ten thousand German troops, killing them without leaving any wounds! The archers saved the day!
Machans work was hardly his best, and he expected it to be soon forgotten. Within a few days he was contacted and asked if it had any foundation. Machen said no, that it was a work of fiction. Over the following months, he gave permission for many reprints. Again, he was asked for exact sources, this time by a vicar who wished to reprint The Bowmen as a pamphlet. Machen again said it was purely an invention of his imagination. The vicar flatly refused to believe him, and the creation surpassed its creator.
Soon, various tales began to appear, many being passed off as established fact, but all clearly traceable to Machen's fiction. Few were willing to listen to Machan, as he repeatedly attempted to set the record straight. Soon, a well meaning and very patriotic nurse, Phyllis Campbell, got into the act. She claimed to have direct testimony from various sources to verify her. Other statements by Ms. Campbell make clear that she would do anything to help defeat the Germans, even lie. There is sild evidence that some nurses during WY invented wild tales, trying to bolster morale. In this case, though, no one would dare say Ms. Campbell was blatantly lying- she was well placed in society.
Over the years, the truth has been smothered by a very appealing fantasy. The story was a wonderful morale booster in England, as it appears to have actually helped the war effort. The angels didn't actually help the British at Mons, but the tale did help the British at home. This proves, in its own way, the power of faith, even more than if the story was real: the sheer belief in the story aided the hearts of the British, allowing them to save more lives than the angels themselves supposedly would have.
