You don't perchance have a list of all the names of the 6000 civilians do you? Is this part of what the UK soldiers were told at the time or what we have been told subsequently ? Who verified the atrocities? More importantly, who made the accusations? Any word about what German people were told about our soldiers' behaviour?

This was about German soldiers with a similar lifestyle and outlook to our own. Far too easy to compare to the Nazis, who not only came later, but were a rather international axis.

Must be great to read so much on a subject. I suggest enlarging your library.
