[edit] Article Content
Why are the dead soldiers' names listed in the article? Is this appropriate in the article? I mention it because the pages detailing many other war crime and mass-murders make no mention of the victims' names.--boiled_elephant 11:54, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
Update: since there have been no objections, I am removing the list of names. It will be retrievable in the history if anyone wishes to contradict me, naturally. --boiled_elephant 11:33, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
An irrlevant line was included, which I removed: "The murders were possibly retaliation for an incident that took place earlier that day, when at a location behind the dunes on the Courselles beach Canadian soldiers cut the throats of six German soldiers. This suppressed Canadian war crime was revealed by a British eyewitness, Edward Ashworth, in Cornelius Ryan's epic account of the historic invasion The Longest Day (1959)." There is no evidence that SS troops were aware of this alleged incident. The alleged incident of Canadian troops "cutting the throats" of German POWs is hearsay and unreliable.
