In the closing days of World War II, Brigadier General Charles Canham, then assistant division commander of the 8th Infantry Division, was about to receive the surrender of a German Unit.“I’m here to receive your surrender,” he told the three- star German commander, who replied “I won’t surrender until I see your credentials”. Canham gestured to the Riflemen accompanying him: “These are my Credentials”.
