ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½

My grandfather (Glyn Owen 14845461) relayed this fact to me following the first episode of the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ docu-drama Dunkirk (Wednesday 18Feb). It relates to the shooting of the POW's of the Warwickshire regiment (featured in the drama)by German SS troops.
It was Jan 1944 and Glyn Owen a lad of 17 and 3 friends from Corwen North Wales, were posted along with their ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Guard division to Deal in Kent to take part in 'Battle Experience' manouvers. They were working alongside the 5th Warwickshire battalian. During a 'smoking break' he overheared a Sergeant of the Warwickshire battalian, talking about such an incident, and saying "we'll get the buggers when we get over there". It was not until he had viewed the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ programme, 60 years later that he finally realised what the Sergeant was referring to.
