Himmler's SS Traitor Hid in English Village

In a small village outside Norwich in the east of England is a village sign erected in 1979. Few know that the man who carved it was a wartime member of the Waffen-SS, and also a traitor, for he was British. This is the extraordinary story of Eric Pleasants, a member of Himmler's British Free Corps of the SS, the Germans most unsuccessful wartime foreign legion.
