back then binding was consider a disordering treatment only reserve for criminals like hanging.
‘The McKenize Break’ filmed at Coolmoney Camp in the Glen of Imaal. Used by the Irish Defence Forces and held German prisoners during WW2
Excellent video. Expectantly awaiting part 3.
This piece is well put together but still top-heavy. We have however the issue of discretionary and illegal treatment. Many German tankers know that by virtue of the similarity of their uniform with that of the SS, they were likely to not be received as 'prisoner' should capture occur, but rather as _casualty_ at the hand of their enemy, Canadians in particular (read- killed on sight as hated SS). Battlefield behaviour is a thing. Many individual soldiers paid a hefty price with their lives because of rumour, and because of reputation. See for example senior Canadian General Volks' comments at various points on the matter.
Well done. MD 👍
You’re the greatest historian of World War Two in history!!!
THat's....a very BIG claim mister.
S'Aarum I hope you one day stop hating!
Mark Felton would like a word with you sir. But I do agree Handgrenadedivision is really good
@Albert Strauss
Well, he truly took an opportunity to use a popular platform. The fact is, the information already available since WW2, but without the internet, things like this are just collecting dust in archives and books.
I know a story made by Felton in a Reader's Digest year 1958. Obviously during that year 1958, the target audience is limited to Reader's Digest customers.
The only props I can give to Felton is he used CZcams for a bigger audience. I wouldn't call him "a greatest historian".
Here's some example, Mark Felton made a video of British pilot fell 18,000 feet without a parachute. I know this from Reader's Digest year 1958.
Another one, Mark Felton made a video of enemy prisoners hijacked an Italian aircraft. I know this story from Reader's Digest year 1977.
Neat.
What's the name of that music played during the ending credits?

Mmmmmm, content.
Perhaps one of the most overtly childish aspects of WWII
This all sounds so strangely childish and asinine with the backdrop of the holocaust.
please do not mix up, prisoners of war with prisoners.
I suppose so. This video is talking about western front POWs specifically so standards are going to be different.
Muh holocaust
