In 1945, Major-General Kurt Meyer, the youngest general in the German armed forces, was charged as a war criminal for the murders of forty-three Canadian soldiers by the Waffen-SS Hitler Youth Division under his command in Nor mandy. A military courtmartial presided over by Major-General Harry Foster, who had commanded the murdered men, convicted and sentenced Meyer to death, although no evidence ever came to l i ght to prove he had ordered the killings. This book is the study of a terrible war viewed from both sides of the battlefield on which different moral and political ideologies struggled to prevail. Parallel biographies trace Meyer's and Foste r s' s careers and show how each reflected the values of the nation he served. Based on the personal diaries and memories of Meyer and Foster, much unpublished material, trial transcripts and scores of interviews conducted throughout Canada and Wes te rn Eu rope, it provides a uniquely dispassionate examination of the tragedy of men, women and children on opposings sides in a war.
