Description
Following a time of hospitalization near Dieppe, his men, now Prisoners of War, were taken to Eichstatt in Germany to a POW camp. Colonel Merritt recalls that a short time later, Hitler issued an edict stating that all prisoners who took part in the Dieppe Raid were required to be handcuffed.
Transcription
They handcuffed us and...so they sat us down wherever they, wherever we happened to be and we spent the rest of that day in these handcuffs.
Interviewer: Did they tell you why they were putting you in handcuffs?
They must have. They said we’d done it...to them.
Interviewer: To your knowledge, did Canadians do that?
I believe they did, I didn’t see it happen myself but I believe they...you know small, very small numbers, and it wasn’t done officially at all.
