Is there a source for this? Not disagreeing, I e just never heard this before.
That’s because it never happened. If it had you’d definitely have heard about it.
By that logic Ea-Nasir didnt sell high quality copper until the rediscovery of his tablets. Obscurity doesnt equal it didnt happen.
You’re comparing apples to Nazis.
ELI5 for the intellectually challenged downvoting this:
Apple: Ea-nāṣir - one random dude c. 1750 BCE.
Nazis: The OG Nazis 1933 - 1945 that murdered millions of people.
The comparison is incredibly stupid. You might just as well liken a speck of dust to a planet.
Some of us have heard about it.

(Link from a few comments above)
Initial answer when the comment had nos source: Source: Trust me bro.
The linked interview has one(!) offhand comment by Abram de Swaan about the alleged practise. The interview is in part to promote his book “The Killing Compartments: The Mentality of Mass Murder.” which of course features Nazi Germany quite a bit. So I went ahead and downloaded said book. The words 'dog', 'puppy' ,or 'pet' are mentioned zero times in the entirety of the book.
Trying to find the book and more sources for the allegation I came up with nothing else.
While "SS-Troops" (idiotic generalisation in this case) like the SS-Totenkopfverbände did many fucked up thinks and would be fucked up enough to feature the alleged dog killings in their training - there is so far no proof whatsoever.
If this were the case it would be in every other movie about WW2. It's in Kingsmen FFS, where the good guys do this as part of their training.
Sorry, I have to call BS on this one.
