In JUNE 10TH, 1944: the sinister 2nd SS Pz Division Das Reich, stops in Limousin; we can follow the bloody track which it left since its departure of Montauban where it was in rest. On June 09th with Tulle, 99 men(people) were hung. The 3rd company of the 1st Pz Grenadiers battalion of the 4th SS Pz regt Der Führer commanded by Adolf Diekmann left 642 civil victims behind her by leaving the village of Oradour sur Glane. It was there a commonplace way to make war for W.SS which burned 209 cities, 9200 villages in Belarus; 628 villages were burned with their inhabitants.

I hope that in all good time, those evil monsters that burned the women and children alive in the Church at Orador will have to listen to their screams for the rest of all eternity. The terrible screams of the children as their flesh melted off their limbs. I remember... I REMEMBER....... We did have the satisfaction of slaughtering these lowlifes inside the Falaise pocket. Where they died in the fires, and shelling, over open sights. W also had the pleasure of witnessing their piled up bodies in places where they covered the road. Though the stench of death was over powering. Sapper

Two days before, in the city of Tulle, a Malgré-nous Alsatian too, refused to shoot down civilians; he had not any problem...Strange to see what men are able to do when it's an order, even an order of an ennemy army...

Just had a look at Oradour sur Glane using google earth. Will be adding to my "too see" list next year
One of my fellow urban explorers put this thread up on 28DaysLater we have a lot of peeps interested in military history Report - When the Nazi's left... - UK Urban Exploration Forums
I'm from Metz in Moselle. Charly Oradour is 15 km far from Metz. Before WW2, this village was only called Charly. 39 persons were sent in Limousin because nazis considered there were ''too much French'' impossible to convert, to be reduced. (Three French departments were de facto annexed and considered as German) Of course they died during the massacre of Oradour sur Glane, on June 10th, 1944. When God forgets you...Nazis even killed their babies... In memory of this massacre and in memory victims, the City Council obtained the addition of Oradour in the name of Charly in August, 1950. I'm going to send you pics from the monument built in Charly-Oradour.
