    Thanks for reminding us abut this terrible tragedy. May these poor people rest in peace and their murderers rot in hell.

    Just one thing , there are already several threads for Oradour so it would be easier to use our search section and to post in an existing trhead. Therefore I have merged a few threads into this one.
