Summary[edit]

Description
English: Ces deux soldats canadiens arborent un drapeau nazi qu'ils ont capturé dans les galeries de la carrière des Aucrais à Haut-Mesnil.

Le fanion nazi ne semble pas avoir beaucoup servi et était vraisemblablement plié dans la sacoche de l'attelage, celle qui gît à leurs pieds sur la droite de la photo. Derrière les deux soldats, ce qui ressemble à une remorque "polyvalente" allemande Sd Anh 104, voir ici : www.lonesentry.com/ordnance/sd-anh-203-special-trailer.html Voir le camouflage fait de branches accrochées sur les côtés du camion. Le soldat de gauche est muni d'une Sten MkII fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sten_Mk_II et celui de droite d'un fusil Lee-Enfield n°4 MkI fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lee_Enfield_n%C2%B04 Photo prise le 10 Août 1944. A gauche le Pte. L.B. Roy, Cornwall, Ontario du The Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders of Canada de la 6th Infantry Brigade de la 2nd Cdn ID, il porte sur son casque une paire de lunettes de motocycliste allemand, voir ici: www.flickr.com/photos/mlq/8500700876/in/photostream Voir ici, avec un autre camarade au même endroit : www.flickr.com/photos/mlq/2547930365/in/pool-autresphotos... www.flickr.com/photos/mlq/2547930361/ Ce hameau a été libéré le 8 août, dans le cadre de " Operation Totalize " par The Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders of Canada-Princess Louise's de la 10th Inf. Brigade de la 4th Canadian Armoured Div. Dans les galeries de la carrière des Aucrais, les Allemands ont stocké du matériel, et une maquette de V2 à l'échelle 1 avec un chariot de transport du missile. Le 14 août, une erreur d'interprétation de signaux de fumée, fait que les bombardiers lourds du Bomber Command larguent leurs bombes sur les Canadiens et les Polonais à Haut-Mesnil faisant 400 victimes dont 65 morts.
