Description: Battle of the Bulge Railroad yard near Limburg, Germany, struck by 9th Air Force light and medium bombers on Dec. 23, 1944, the first day of good weather during the Battle of the Bulge. Unfortunately, since the rail cars were not marked per the Geneva Convention, Allied POWs in transit sometimes lost their lives in rail attacks. (U.S. Air Force photo)

Canadian POWS Marched through Dieppe

Administrator — Sat, 25 Mar 2006 16:50:17 -0500

by: Administrator

Description: After the unsucessful raid on Dieppe Canadian POWs were Marched through the town figuratively with there pants around their ankles as humiliation, to add insult to injury the the British press went pretty harsh on them, calling them a bunch of dumb tall farm boys who will fit in quite well in France. Not funny. in fact the operationwas a failure for the Canadians due to many reasons but mostly the Brits didnt know what they were doing, but on June6 1944 Canada would have its revenge on the Germans at Juno Beach.
