Also his unit was dropped in ahead of Operation Overlord (D Day) early to covertly soften up Nazi defences as much as possible, but as the bulk of forces were further north in anticipation of a direct channel crossing some of the 'soldiers' he and his buddies were garrotting were Hitler Youth kids making up the numbers.

FYI while some of those Hitler youth units were random groups of boys, some were as fanatical and brutal as the SS. A number were involved in war crimes.

So those kids may well have deserved it. :buddy:
