Fury over Dieppe raid sparks Nazi trial revelations
At Nurnberg the tribunal heard a secret order by Hitler ordering the slaughter of all Allied commandos captured after Oct 18 1942. The order, limited in copies, followed the Dieppe raid and demanded no pardons for such prisoners. Prosecutors described the policy as guiding German forces in Europe and Africa. An eyewitness affidavit recounted the Rowne massacre of Jews by SS units in July 1942.
