#279 - The Grey Man - Part One (Chiswick, London, England)

This is Part One of Two of The Grey Man.


Across the morning of Tuesday 11th of November 1941, from 8:50am to 10:20am, an armed man dressed in grey went on a killing spree across Chiswick, Hammersmith and Acton armed with two shotguns. It seemed like he was picking off random people, but having spent months rehearsing and surveilling his targets, his mission had a purpose. Of so he thought.
