Massacre At Le Paradis.

[Deadstick]

When the BEF were retreating to Dunkirk in 1940 in the face of the German Blitzkrieg men of a British rearguard fought against the 3rd SS division Totenkopf, vastly outnumbered they had to surrender, many were then murdered by the SS troops.

The Brits were no strangers to the concept of surrender without honor in the early 40's, Singapore is a notable example but when your homeland can't supply you with the ammunition and basic food to fight, surrender it's a given. The winning side gets to write the history books so we have a U.S. General who escaped the disaster and surrender of Bataan and Corrigador presented with the highest award for valor and we have the British stiff upper lip Brits toughing it out in the "Bridge over the River Kwai".

Thats a little hard, Singapore was a military cockup, we had the big guns facing the wrong way, there was no surrender at Kohima where our troops were under siege by a large jap force.
