This is from a series of piccies taken by British Photogs. There are 4 shots in the sequence and I plan to try to replicate 2 of the shots. They show what looks like a the remains of a Zug or Kompanie that were taken POW all at the same time. Since the caption says near Cheux on 27June then it is almost certainly guys from the 12SS pioneer Abt or the I/12SS Arty Regt. or a slight possibility of the III/26SS PzGren Regt as these units were over run and just about wiped out during this phase of the Normandy battles. I would love to know the identity of the Obersturm fuehrer and his NCO. These guys were almost all wounded and look dirty and dazed.The officer turns his head as he goes by the camera(maybe fear of retribution at home?) or shame from being captured? Anyway,great series of pics.
Here is where I am so far.
