Nick Ross reviews a 1942 case of a soldier accused of killing his girlfriend. Could forensics prove guilt? Stars Keith Drinkel.

In the summer of 1942, Southern England is teeming with soldiers preparing for D-Day.

A young woman, Joan Wolfe, is living rough in a wigwam built by her soldier boyfriend, August Sangret.

BBC TV's Crimewatch presenter Nick Ross reviews the case and the forensic evidence.
