The RUTHLESS Executions of American Paratroopers Shot By The Germans

Following the Normandy Invasions of D-Day, there were a number of executions carried out by the German Army and also the Allies. The Allies would not take as many prisoners as they could have, but in the early hours of the 6th June 1944 an airborne invasion took place with thousands of paratroopers landing behind enemy lines. One group of American paratroopers jumped out of a C-47 Dakota, but they were dropped around 4 miles away from their zone. Because of this the men had to hide out, but a German patrol quickly found them and then following a firefight, the American soldiers were taken prisoner.

But a number of them were brutally slaughtered by the German soldiers before they were processed, and they were found with terrible injuries. But after they were interrogated, four paratroopers were marched to a wood and were executed by German soldiers near where they were captured. In total 8 American paratroopers were executed at the hands of the Germans, and they became some of the first victims of D-Day.
