I'm wondering if this is true or just rubbish. In the book, "The story of Waffen SS General Kurt Meyer", told by himself, I came upon this.
.................................................. ..........................
I had already been told at the outset of the invasion that the Allies did not take the Geneva Convention very seriously and the divisions that had already landed had taken few prisoners. On the morning of 9 June I found a group of German soldiers on the railway line south of Rots.They had obviously not been killed in action as they were all laying next to the road and all had been shot through the head.

Move ahead.

After the German officers had refused to voluntarily act as human shields, the badly injured Oberst Luxemburger was fettered by two British officers,beaten unconscious and, in that blood-covered condition, tied to a British tank as a shield.
The tank on which Oberst Luxemburger was tied as a shield was hit by a German anti-tank gun;he died two days later in a military hospital.

Move ahead again.

On June 7, a notebook was found on a Canadian captain with notes about the orders given before the invasion.There were instructions on how to fight. It read;"No prisoners are to be taken."

There is a litlle bit more but you get the idea. I have to wonder[if true]why the aggression towards the Germans before and right after D-Day.
So much is always mentioned during the Battle of the Bulge and the Malmedy massacre.
