A couple of quotes from the book.
A couple of quotes from the book.
On the 7th of June I was given a notebook taken from the body of a dead Canadian captain. In addition to handwritten orders the notes stated that 'no prisoners were to be taken'. Some Canadian prisoners were asked to verify these instructions...they confirmed orders that if prisoners impeded the advance, they were not to be taken.
Even the birds were silent. Before us lay the naked bodies of over 100 German soldiers, their hands tied with wire, horribly slaughtered. The officers were mutilated and in pieces.
