Canadian Tankists POW's.


Canadian Tankists from the 6th Canadian Armoured Regiment which were captured by the 10th reconnaissance detachment of Heinz Brinkmann (left) in Saint-André-sur-Orne, France, on 23 July 1944.


At right is Heinz Harmel, commander of the 10th SS Panzer Division. You can clearly see the fear and stress on the faces of the POWs; that's because Anglo-Canadian personnel feared execution by the SS.
