Between June 7 and 17, 1944, an estimated 156 Canadian soldiers were taken prisoner and then were killed by German soldiers during the fierce fighting that raged across the Normandy countryside following the D-Day landings. The majority of these events were not spontaneous acts of battlefield violence but cold, calculated, systematic executions carried out behind enemy lines well after the soldiers were captured. The German perpetrators were members of the 12th SS Panzer Division. Nicknamed “Germany’s Baby Division” by the allied press, most of the German soldiers in the division were under twenty-years-old.

In this video we look at the leadership of Kurt Meyer, the tactics employed by the Division and we specifically look at the Abbey Ardennes Massacre were up to 20 Canadian soldiers were murdered.
