Hi guys

Endeavouring to clarify a couple of unsavory incidents that may have occurred on 31 August 1940, reference Richard Collier's 1966 "Eagle Day".

Page 199:

(a) At Tandridge in Surrey, blood-crazed troops did a tribal dance round a hayrick, parading a German's head on a pitchfork

(b) LDV volunteer Richard May, hastening towards Coulsdon Golf Course where a German had baled out, met two soldiers who'd got there first. One of them, carrying a pilot's gauntlet glove, announced tersely "We've fixed him." In the field, May found a tall man wearing the Iron Cross, his head smashed to a pulp."

Were these reports factual? Were there other such incidents?

Cheers
Brian
