MASSACRE AT THE CHATEAU DE GRANGUES - D-DAY 6TH JUNE 1944

[Gil Boyd]

Thought you guys might like to read an enquiry I have been involved in for many years following on from the negative work carried by the War Crimes Unit in 1945 to find the perpetrator. The file, or, what limited information it contained, and where ALL the witnesses were initialled in the file, for reprisals sake, and not named, which made this enquiry even harder as I knew few would still be left alive. The file was only released two years ago on the 70 years ruling on SECRET documents, so this was an uphill struggle from the start.

It all started in my reseacrh surrounding the location of all their graves and to ensure they were "properly" buried under a scheme I started for all Parachute Regiment soldiers who have died in combat since 1940 to date called GRAVEWATCH, I hope you find it interesting:
