No Walk in the Park

My Bad as my grandsons say!!

 

I should have said that those Americans were from the 4th ID and the 101 AB Div.

 

The other men were either Brits or Canadians and the units were not named.

 

I hesitated to post this but it did happen - war does crazy things to people:-

 

Here’s the sidebar to those stories that they don’t like to speak of:-

 

Audouville La Hubert was the scene of a murder of disarmed German POWs by American paratroopers. Shortly after the capture of Sainte Marie d'Eglise 30 Wehrmacht soldiers were captured and shot by US paratroopers believed to be the work of 101st Airborne Division. This is something we should be ashamed of!!
