14th Armored Division taking German prisoners

[milsurp2.0]

You mean the XV Cossack Cavalry Corps? The turning-over of the Cossacks by the British to the Soviets is sometimes called "The Betrayal of the Cossacks." The German commander of this formation, General Helmuth von Pannwitz, could have remained in British custody due to his German nationality, but he chose to follow his Cossack troops into Soviet captivity. He was tried in a Soviet war crimes court and executed in Moscow in 1947.

I think it was. It wasn't in the magazine(I looked). I think it was in Armageddon the battle for Germany by Max Hastings. May have been From the Ruins of the Reich. All these books run together the older I get!
