Details
Gough was reported missing in October 1944 after he had been captured and interrogated by the Gestapo. He was held in a "Block" (a prison within the camp) where he was severely beaten. As the Allies closed in it was ordered that the block prisoners be moved further east towards Gaggenau. At 06.00 hours, 25 Nov 1944, a van took the prisoners to Erlich Wood where they were shot dead from behind, the bodies falling into a bomb crater. Stripped of their personal effects, which were burnt, the crater was filled in.
