Set against the backdrop of World War II, this account delves into the harrowing events of 1944, when over 150 Canadian soldiers were killed after being captured by the 12th SS Division 'Hitler Youth.' The narrative explores the aftermath of these brutal murders and the subsequent investigations by Allied courts, highlighting the limited accountability faced by the perpetrators, as only two senior officers were tried for their war crimes. The book sheds light on the complexities of justice in wartime and the enduring impact of these atrocities.
