There is a tale that one of the Canadian soldiers pictured in the sequence of stills where Major Currie earned his VC. The German officer was snarky and refused (or was reluctant) to surrender to an NCO. There were some fisticuffs, and a rifle shot. The NCO then continued to process prisoners who were more willing to give up.
