Kurt Meyer (23 December 1910 – 23 December 1961) was an SS commander and convicted war criminal of Nazi Germany. He served in the Waffen-SS (the combat branch of the SS) and participated in the Battle of France, Operation Barbarossa, and other engagements during World War II. Meyer commanded the 12th SS Panzer Division Hitlerjugend during the Allied invasion of Normandy, and was a recipient of the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves and Swords.
After ordering the mass murder of civilians and prisoners of war (POWs) several times during the conflict, Meyer was convicted of war crimes for his role in the Ardenne Abbey massacre (the murder of Canadian POWs in Normandy). He was sentenced to death, but the sentence was later commuted to life in prison. Released in 1954, he subsequently became active in HIAG, a lobby group organised by former high-ranking Waffen-SS men. Meyer was a leading Waffen-SS apologist and HIAG's most effective spokesperson, depicting most of the Waffen-SS as apolitical, recklessly brave fighters who were not involved in the crimes of the Nazi regime. These notions have since been debunked by historians.

Business on the Stock Exchange yesterday was obviously influenced by the approaching three day recess. The trading has been in the hands of professional speculators for some time past, and owing to their present desire seems to be to secure any profits accruing to them or to go over the holidays with reduced commitments.
Date: 24 December 1910
Yesterday's lifeless market, on the very eve of the triple holiday, was plainly foreshadowed by the diminishing business and narrowing price movements of the earlier days of the week. There has of course, been no public participation to speak of in Stock Exchange business for a long time past, and apparently traders on the floor and speculators in the various offices through the Street have at last grown tired of dealing exclusively with one another.
