A group of between fifteen and twenty men wearing uniforms and wielding Tommy guns invaded the minister’s home around 6 a.m. yesterday. Three of the group made their way to the bedroom and shot the pajama-clad Henriot. However, reports reaching Spain indicated Henriot had been killed by one of his own bodyguards in his office during a dispute with other Vichy propagandists. Henriot was appointed Minister of Propaganda last January and since has been one of the most hated voices in France. He escaped a previous assassination attempt by bomb in May of last year.</span></div> Eric K. Augspurgerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04325543643322202222noreply@blogger.com0
