The Forgotten Massacre That Shocked the Allied Command | WW2 (No AI)

What really happened at the Barn at La Plaine au Bois? Discover the harrowing true story of the Wormhoudt Massacre, where 80 British and French POWs were executed by the SS during the retreat to Dunkirk. In May 1940, as the British Expeditionary Force (BEF) fought a desperate rearguard action to save the Allied army at Dunkirk, the soldiers of the 2nd Battalion, Royal Warwickshire Regiment, and the Cheshire Regiment stood their ground. After running out of ammunition, they surrendered—expecting the protection of the Geneva Convention. Instead, they were met by the Leibstandarte SS Adolf Hitler.
