The extradition to France of the man known as 'the butcher of Lyon'

Nazi-hunters Serge and Beate Klarsfeld recall their hunt for Klaus Barbie, known as 'the butcher of Lyon'.

In February 1983 the man known as 'the butcher of Lyon' was extradited to France to face charges of murder and torture during World War Two. The former head of the Gestapo in Lyon was traced to South America by two Nazi-hunters, married couple Serge and Beate Klarsfeld. They have been telling their amazing story to Mike Lanchin.
