Clue to only Brits 'shot by Nazis on British soil'

A NAZI murdered two English prisoners on British soil during the Second World War, newly unearthed documents have revealed.

The killings were documented by Obergefreiter (Private) Kraus who was stationed at a forced labour camp on Alderney, the most northern Channel Island, after Germany invaded.

His account, recently found in the National Archives, says he witnessed the murders by Sonderführer (Special Commander) Richter in 1944.
