France - Oradour-sur-Glane Martyr
Village - 1 |
|
|
 |
The small village of Oradour-sur-Glane was
raided by German SS troops on the 10th of June 1944 - as revenge for
French sabotage actions in the area. Almost the
entire population - 642 men,
women and children were killed. Only a few
survived. The German forces burned or blew up all the houses in the
village. After the war the village was made a memorial site - left
almost as it looked when the German forces left it in 1944.
