Not much in detail. The Canadians were as ferocious as the Hitler Youths. There were shootings of prisoners on both sides which were started by the HJs. Meyer never gave an order to shoot prisoners. This was a case of battle euphoria. When Kurt Meyer was captured, he was handed over to the Canadians who sentenced him to death. Kurt Meyer announced that upon the discovery of what happened top the Canadians, he ordered the person responsible to the most dangerous sector of fighting where he was killed. Meyer's sentence was communted and he was release in 1955 due to the fact that the Canadians were also shooting prisoners and therefore Meyer could not be held accountable to the conduct of the men at lower levels.
