Oradour-sur-Glane is a small town located in the Haute-Vienne Department of France.
On Saturday the 10th of June 1944 soldiers of the Der Führer Regiment of the 2nd Waffen-SS Panzer Division Das Reich massacred a total of 642 men, women and children in what has been described as reprisal for increased French Resistance activity in the run up to the Allied D-Day Landings.
Although a new village of Oradour was built away from the site of the old town in the years following the War, the ruins still stand as a memorial to it's inhabitants, and to the victims of other wartime atrocities.
