What the British Officer Did When a German Commander Offered His Hand

In May 1945, the German High Command surrendered, expecting the "Officer’s Code" to protect them. They expected salutes, respect, and a "gentleman’s handshake."

Discover why a British commando refused to shake the hand of a German Field Marshal and the brutal reality check that followed. This was more than a rejection; it was the moment the "Master Race" realized they were nothing more than common criminals.
