    MASSACRE AT THE CHATEAU DE GRANGUES, NORMANDY

    I have for a number of years now been investigating, from a Detective's perspective, the killings of 8 Paratroopers on the early morning of D-DAY at the Chateau de Grangues in Normandy.

    I have just returned with the final piece in the jigsaw, which was provided by a Red Cross nurse aged 93 years of age who I found, who was as sharp as a razor, and remembered everything as if it was yesterday.

    Full write up to follow on the lone Nazi culprit and the story as it unfolded on the night.
