The HORRIFIC Execution Of The Soldiers Of D-Day Shot By The SS

Throughout the Second World War, there were many executions that were carried out by the SS. Following D-Day on the 6th June 1944, the Allies advanced throughout Normandy and France, but a number of Canadian soldiers after landing on Juno Beach were captured by the SS. The SS after losing territory and many soldiers were in no mood to take prisoners of war and to care for them.
This resulted in the Normandy Massacres and there were a series of war crimes carried out against Canadian soldiers and British soldiers who were captured. Many of these were taken to the headquarters of senior German Army Generals, and then close by executions took place. One example of this was inside of Ardennes Abbey, where dozens of Canadian POWs were shot inside of a courtyard at the back of the church.

There aren't a lot of WW2 videos mentioning the Canadians (in comparison to the Americans especially) and considering we were there from the beginning til the end, I think our troops deserve the attention.

[@hublocker849]

I was personally told by Canadian war veteran that they were ordered to take no prisoners. "It's a hell of a thing to have to shoot a man holding a white cloth in his hand," one told me. "The major called us together and said 'If any one of you assholes bring me a prisoner, I'll shoot you myself.' " The other one said that it was weird the way a man would hold his han s up in front of him as you shot him as if they could fend off the bullets.

[@cammobunker]

Some things to be remembered here: Firstly, the Canadian troops were primarily facing the 12th SS Panzer Division "Hitlerjugend" which was filled with 17 and 18 year old thoroughly indoctrinated true believer Nazis. Additionally the Cadre and training officers had all come from the 1st SS "Liebstandarte Adolph Hitler", hard core Eastern Front fighters. Many of the NCOs leading the fanatical kids were experienced Eastern Front Vets as well. The Eastern Front was a vicious, frequently no quarter war between the Red Army and the SS. SS prisoners were shot out of hand, and the SS did the same thing to Red Army POWs. By 1944, this was "Business as usual" for the Divisions from the east-and remember, two of the three SS Panzer divisions in Normandy, the 1st, and 2nd "Das Reich", had been moved from the east, and the 12th was trained in the same way. It's not especially surprising that the SS units were killing prisoners...I mean, they'd been doing it for years at this point. It got to the point where the command of one of the Canadian divisions supposed put out a warning to the troops about the tendency of the WSS to murder prisoners and contained the phrase "Surrender invites death."

[@josephstabile9154]

It was wrong, legally & morally, and resulted in MANY fewer Germans surviving. I hope it was worth it. : )

[@cammobunker]

@@josephstabile9154 If you think this theater of war was bad, compare it to the Pacific. Prisoners simply weren't a thing except for downed aircrew, and many of these were later executed. Japanese soldiers preferred death to captivity, and considered anyone trying to surrender to them as sub-humans not worthy of being allowed to live. It made the prospect of being captured by Nazis downright rosy by comparison.

You can't even spell the name of the Führer correctly. And it's the LAH. The Leibstandarte Adolf Hitler. I have family that served in the LAH. All you have is a theory about a people and a culture you are no part of and never can be. Of course the SS knew they weren't up against the Red Army but Anglosaxons. Orders had to be given explicitly for them to grant no quarters to the enemy. And these orders were obviously were given. And so the question is why were these sorts of orders given the answer to that is obviously that command had damn good reasons to give them. Reasons such as retaliating for allied crimes. Crimes we likely will never hear about for obvious reasons, because they run counter to the narrative.

[@LeopardIL2]

@@statinskill It's simple. The time allied troops started to fight SS divisions in French land, orders were given to shoot at sight. The reality of the Ostfront was known but it was imperative to keep the Allied cause unhurt. The Soviets were friends, period. So in the Western front SS troops are seen as they were in the Eastern front. The Russian front atrocities, committed by Germans and Soviets alike will never be fully known in their extent.

[@cammobunker]

Supposedly after the battle of Aachen, the US 30th Infantry Division, nicknamed "Roosevelt's SS", had an unofficial order promulgated to take no prisoners for a 30 day period. I cannot remember what caused it, but I remember reading about it. Not to excuse the crimes of the SS in any way, but war turns all men into beasts.

[@monikaquinton]

The US soldiers perceived themselves as civilised human beings liberating Europe and Germany from the Nazi regime. Because of this perception they should have distanced themselves from taking no prisoners for a 30 day period.

[@RossM3838]

If an enemy soldier believes that he will be killed he won’t surrender but will take you with him. Also you can’t get any information from a dead guy. So it’s usually better to take prisoners This is a lesson the Germans never learned

[@allertgoossens9606]

Very single-sighted video on SS-executions of Canadian/British troops. It involved 156 killed as such, records say. But like the Malmedy massacre - it is only the story of the Allied being told. Obvious and terrible crimes. But let's be honest. In reality the Allies killed far more German POW's - or soldiers not even made prisoner because they were simply killed whilst not resisting anymore - than the other way round. The US is actually quite blunt in admitting this but British forces and historians often play angles. During operation Market Garden the US airborne formations were time and again instructed to bring living prisoners in - not out of human interest but ... for intel purposes. That instruction was repeated all along the front since they tended to kill all Germans. The Cook battalion at Nijmegen alone probably killed >100 Germans after their surrender. American movies are quite elaborate on these killings and the 'kill-the-SS' moral of particularly US soldiers, and US historians and vet's are also quite outspoken about this practise. British are not. Though it is known that taking prisoners during intense operations was also on the British side often given 'no priority'. It does not fit the good side/bad side paradigm to be honest about this. We prefer to keep publishing videos like this where German atrocities are copied time and again and our own side's atrocities are covered up or not even mentioned. Missed opportunities. Don't forget - only honest history bears lessons. Dishonest history often provokes the next war ...

A thermite grenade burns hot enough to weld steel railroad tracks. Napalm not so much. Napalm burns and sucks the oxygen out of the air and a victim often suffocates to death before burning to death. Either way is without a doubt excruciating.

He HATED when Star Wars came out and I was playing with "stormtrooper" toys. He asked, "why would you even want that?!". I didn't understand then.

As you yourself mentioned the Allies began killing German prisoners soon after midnight on June 6 and continued to do so throughout the entire campaign. On the morning of June 7 the British Innes of Court regiment captured 13 prisoners belonging to the Panzer Lehr division, 1 was tied to the turret of the lead tank the other 12 were lined up and shot in the head. These bodies were found by members of division Hitlerjugend. The majority of Canadian prisoners were killed by members of Panzer Grenadier regiment 26 commanded by Wilhelm Monkhe, but no one ever mentions that, they just focus on Kurt Meyer. After being repeatedly ordered by Monkhe to shoot prisoners Sturmbahnfuhrer Bernhard Siebken phoned division headquarters and asked, Is there a standing order to shoot prisoners. He was told NO. On June 11 division Chief of Staff Hubert Meyer issued strict instructions that all prisoners were to be treated according to the rules of land warfare, and the killings stopped. Video also mentioned Gerhard Bremer, a 3 year war crimes investigation into Bremer and 2 of his senior officers found there was no evidence they had ever issued instructions for prisoners to be killed

The use of a dead body to trick the Nazis into thinking the attack was somewhere else might have been what decided the war. The German and Italian soldiers at d day where mostly lower tier soldiers, reserves and injured soldiers they also had alot of arms from ww1 and where ill equipped for a German force. Far from the battle hardened soldiers in the Nazi army or the Elite Panzer divisions that where tricked to be far away. Using the dead body and a brief case to insure D day went as smooth as possible is a great piece of history that's not talked about alot. Hitler was advised against using the fake intel but he ended up going against the advice. Another one that no one talks about alot is Hitlers Parkinson's disease and all the drugs he was on. He had alot of health problems and was constantly high. Only one audio recording of him just talking exists, every detail and piece of information was used to present him and what he was doing in the best light. They had really strong propaganda, they literally laid the ground work for modern day propaganda (public relations ) the head of propaganda in Germany at the time said propaganda is only effective if no one knows it is propaganda. Now we all know they are scum but all the drugs he was on, health problems, and massive amount of secret support still not getting looked at much these days shows how good they where at propaganda. They also had a campaign in Africa before ww2 to battle harden the troops and established the Hitler youth program to indoctrinate and train teenagers to replace massive amounts of soldiers when ww2 kicked off. They planned over 5 years in advance and fixed the economy then attacked. That's why they kicked the crap out of everyone for the first half of the war. They came in ready against peace time troops and very old WW1 Generals. The German meth usage in ww2 being everywhere and x9 the experimental super soldier drug I think it was called that ( heroin, meth, other drugs) is also really wild if you haven't heard of that. X9 was very effective but gave really bad health problems. They never mass produced it like they wanted to. It was toward the end of the war so they probably got desperate. Anyways I hope someone finds that information and digs into it better then my memory I think it just adds layers onto what we know already and is really important for history. I know that's alot but I hope you find something interesting thanks for reading this and nerding out.
