252280 Pte Ernest Dominic Peters Canadian Army North Nova Scotia Highlanders from:L'Ardoise, Nova Scotia My Grandfather was captured during the D-Day invasions near Authie, France. He was taken prisoner by Kurt Meyers Division. After he was captured he was shortly after force marched to Rennes where his group was accidentally strafed by US aircraft. He managed to survive and ended up in a POW camp in Rennes. While in the POW camp, the allies bombed the area, including the POW camp he was held captive and was hit by shrapnel in the leg. He ended up in the hospital where his leg needed to be reattached by the Germans. He spent around 10-12 days in the hospital where he was then put in a box car and shipped off to Germany. He was documented staying in Stalag IV B and was later moved to another POW camp. He managed to survive all of this and went on to testify in the Kurt Meyer trial.
