Paul,
I heard this story from a friend whose brother was in the sas unit at the time,as far as I know there is a commemorative plaque on the cathedral, having never visited france I would not know if there is any truth in the story but I could not understand why any one would lie about such a thing. Unfortunately the sources are dead now,I know the name but cannot post it for obvious reasons that is why I am trying to find out as much as possible about this incident. the french resistance was also involved. maby another battle forgotten about because of the slaughter that took place I dont know.
