The 12th SS and Paul Hardcastle

[Gasbag]

If you're looking for good books try Conduct Unbecoming by Howard Margolian. This book covers the murders of 150 Canadian soldiers by the 12th SS Panzer Division "Hitlerjugend" in Normandy. One of those Canadians murdered was a guy from my hometown of Cornwall Ontario. Hubert Meyer's 12th SS divisional history is useful as well but it should be taken with a grain of salt (like a lot of memoirs/histories written by former German Army/SS veterans) because it ignores this incident completely. Steel Inferno by Michael Reynolds has some interesting sections on battles between the Canadians & the 12th SS. No Holding Back by Brian A. Reid covers Operation Totalize & is a must read (IMHO) for anyone interested in the Canadians in Normandy. It also has a interesting appendix in which the author provides a very sound case for crediting the Canadians with the destruction of panzer ace Michael Wittmann.

Hopefully these books are along the lines of what you're looking for...:)
