D-Day Normandy, 1944. Twenty thousand, five hundred strong, the 12th Waffen-ss Hitler Youth Division marched into battle against Allied Forces. They were the last cream of the German youth, seventeen- and eighteen-year-old lads trained and led by a cadre of battle-hardened officers and NCOs who had survived four years of war in Europe and on the Russian front. With only a year of training, they were nevertheless ferocious fighters. At one critical point in the battle the depleted 12th ss Division fought three Canadian and three British divisions to a standstill. Eighty-five days after the landings, at the Battle of Falaise Gap, less than five hundred of the 12th Division’s front line troops remained. The rest were dead, wounded or captured. MEETING OF GENERALS is the study of a terrible war viewed from the two sides of a battlefield on which different moral and political ideologies struggled to prevail. Parallel biographies trace Generals Meyer’s and Foster’s careers – their youth, their ambitions, their sweethearts, their sorrows and personal tragedies – and show how each reflected the values of the nation that he served. In the end, both generals realize at Meyer’s War Crimes court-martial that in war there are no winners or losers – only victims.

5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. A very good parallel study By BLT In my view this is one of the best books on Kurt Meyer, the reknown Panzermeyer of the 1st ss-Pz Division "Leibstandarte Adolf Hitler", then commander of the 12th ss-Pz Div "Hitlerjugend" in 1944. No apology of the famed waffen-ss this time. Only facts, all about Kurt Meyer's life from childhood to his military career. His postings, battles, promotions etc ... and finally his trial for war crimes. In parallel the life and career of Canadian General Foster whose division confronted Panzermeyer's panzer formation in Normandy is presented. Most of the Canadian soldiers that were murdered by Meyer's division belonged to Foster's division. This explains that general Foster is presiding Panzermeyer's trial after the war. All that with the dignity befitting a true soldier. Whilst being an adversary in the field, the Canadian general's impartiality never waivers. Only one regret. The author's (son of general Foster) gripes and grudges, pertaining his father's second wife. Something I certainly could have done without and so would have .... Panzermeyer I'm sure.A good read for anyone interested in the history of these two ss divisions as well and foremost in the battle of Normandy seen here from both sides, something which is seldom witnessed. The same goes with the 3rd Canadian division.
