Herguerie Farm: a «Huge controversy»
On June 6th 1944 , about 30 German prisoners were in custody of 12 paratroopers of the 101 Airborne .Most of them were from Ost Batallion 795 and are Georgians , they were wounded more or less badly and found a shelter in the farm Birette ; after 8 hours, Bernardin Birette's son was requested to move away. Upon his return he saw bodies on the ground, apparently executed.
Their bodies were left more than 15 days in the sun and rolled over by tanks and GMC!!!! I do not have any document confirming this fact, only eye witnesses.
This farm was also used as a CP for the 4th Division.
