The German troops eventually through stick grenades into the barn and killed most of those inside.There?s a memorial near the site with the names of those who died and the massacre is commemorated regularly.Many of the German troops went on to die themselves in the final battle for Dunkirk.Can you imagine the outrage if it was decided that the names of the dead Germans should be placed alongside those of their victims? one can imagine the justifiable anger.However that is just what has happened in Ireland recently.
