France - Oradour-sur-Glane Martyr
Village - 3 |

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.

At remains of the church bell at Oradour-sur-Glane.
Most of the women and children were locked inside the church before
the SS troops threw handgrenades into the church - and set it on
fire.
