The 'human shield' incident is the Inns Of Court Regiment incident from Normandy. There are several versions and the Germans use the 'human shield' description. The Recce Regiment was deep behind German lines when it captured a group of high ranking German Officers. It took some prisoner and placed them on the A/Cars. It is alleged they shot the others and when they came under fire some (or all) the Germans on/in the armoured cars were killed. One only has to realise how valuable such German prisoners were to understand the 'human shield' version is bogus.
