I've just ordered a book published this year about Le Paradis and was wondering if there are any on the massacre at Wormhoult? Here's the Paradis one incase anyone is interested: Last Stand at Le Paradis: Amazon.co.uk: Richard Lane: Books Cheers Andy
There is one on Wormhoudt, which you can buy at the Tourist Office there and also in Dunkirk. It is by a local French historian, but it is in English.
I have a 92 page copy of a War Crimes File that contains statements on the incident made by C.E.Daley and A.Evans 2nd Warwicks. R.T.Parry 69th Mdm Rgt. R.A. and A.Montague. It is a Report that also contains some diagrams.
Cheers, I'd be interested in seeing the diagrams and Parry's and Montague's statements. I've posted some exerts from Daley's and Evans on another thread.
The File contains an interesting statement by Sepp Dietrich who says he spent some hours in a ditch pinned down by enemy fire and the Regiment was handed over to Sturmbannfuehrer Trabant in his absence.
There is also Massacre on the Road to Dunkirk: Wormhout, 1940 (ISBN: 185260185X / 1-85260-185-X) by Leslie Aitken Haven't read it, bt should, as I have visited the site with the Royal Artillery Historical Society. Phil
After receiving a most excellent disc from Brian regarding the Wormhoult massacre which contains witness statements, diagrams etc. Does anyone have anything similiar from Kew regarding Paradis? Cheers Andy
Andy, the Le Paradis files look even more interesting as they include the trial of Fritz Knoechlein for the murder of 97 P.O.W.
Hi there, I am wondering g where I might get hold of a copy of this? Albert Montague was my grandfather and I would really like to read his account of this. Can you point me in the right direction please?
Alli, hopefully someone else on the board can assist you. Brian (ADM199) passed away some years back. Dave
Oh I am sorry to hear that. Thank you for replying. Perhaps someone else might know how I might access the records or statements.
Hi Alli, hope you will get to read this as Albert Edward Montague was my Great Uncle and brother to my Grandfather Victor Walter Montague. Can you please contact me?
