Lane, RichardLAST STAND AT LE PARADIS: The Events Leading to the SS Massacre of the Norfolks 1940 Discusses the 2nd Battalion Royal Norfolk Regiment, which were one of the first complete infantry units of the BEF to land in France. Despite casualties and members of the battalion receiving the first decorations of the war, the BEF made a stand against the Germans at the River Escaut and were eventually forced to surrender. Ninety-nine men were marched to a paddock where they were killed by their SS captors. Details how two men survived and were instrumental in bringing the SS officer responsible, Fritz Knoechlien, to justice after the war. When the remnants of the battalion reassembled in England, its strength was just five officers and 134 other ranks. The remainder had either been killed or captured as POWs.
