137: Massacre at Le Paradis – A Personal Pilgrimage
Update: 2025-07-09
Description
In this week’s episode we travel to the small village of Le Paradis in Northern France to discover the awful story of a group of BEF soldiers who were murdered by the SS during the retreat to Dunkirk in May 1940. We listen to the words of the only 2 survivors and find out how another man escaped the shootings by going through a different door as the SS waited for them to surrender. We are joined by Peter McDonough, a relative of one of those who died that day at the hands of the Nazis. How did he feel when he visited the location of the massacre with me?
