Eleven British soldiers, shot by the Germans, they were hidden in Vincent Chalandre's factory. They were denounced to the German authorities for a stupid thing of jalousy.
They had their rifles and admunition, and tried to escape, without any chance to escape.
The Germans shot also Vincent Chalandre and hit fire to the factory.
