    LAST MAN TO BE EXECUTED IN THE TOWER OF LONDON

    A very interesting story of a Germanicon spy who parachuted into Englandicon in 1941 only to be exposed by his own accident on landing!!

    Not commonly known is that 3 out of the five members of the Scots Guards firing squad had their rifles pre loaded with blanks!
