The isolated manse at Kilbucho provided a very interesting and - for the ladies involved - terrifying story. What could have been the explanation? I was also interested by the architecture, that put a fireplace in the same bay, though over, the front door.
ReplyDeleteAnd Brunner, the escaped Nazi, highlighted a disgraceful history of so many top Nazis getting away. I always thought it a shame, every time some sergeant or corporal of the SS was brought to trial, that hundreds, thousands, in fact, of high-ranking killers got away. The lower ranks carried out their orders - happily, in most cases - but the ones who gave the orders eluded justice.
