For sure, there was no love lost between the Canadians in Normandy and the 12th SS - but there seems little doubt that Canadian prisoners were shot out-of-hand at the Abbaye d'Ardenne near Caen.

Have you read any of his writings, Martin? You seem to have hit the proverbial nail on the head. I've only got to his capture and return to London, never was there the first mention
of any German "wrong doings."
Even the part when he's captured seems "fishy". Supposedly partisans were picking out all SS and Fallschirmjager and shooting onsite while the GIs turned their heads.
