Ladies and Gentelman:

The primary reason after Normandy we got very few SS as POW s. The 17th SS Slaughtered wounded paras of the 507th and french villagers. Needless to say this became known in the ranks an they took steps.

The volks grenidiers were german army formations that were brought up to stength by Hitler Jugen( Hitler Youth). These were very political people that thought A. Hitler pissed lemonade. We did not like them

Those are the facts as I recall them.

As Ever,

Walter L. Marlowe
