Re: Photo's From The Massacre At Oradour-sur-Glane
I used to watch that show with my dad. It had some crazy episodes. It can be hard to comprehend the level hatred and violence that man is capable of and this show highlighted several instances. Does it ever air anymore?

I am absolutely speechless. World War II fascinates me, as it is so completely fucked up, especially during that era. Unreal.

Thank you, I couldn't place my finger on where I'd seen a show about this. Fucking sad! |

Re: Photo's From The Massacre At Oradour-sur-Glane
This reminds me very much of the "Massacre of Sant'Anna di Stazzema." From Wikipedia: The Sant'Anna di Stazzema massacre was a Nazi German war crime committed in the hill village of Sant'Anna di Stazzema in Tuscany, Italy, in the course of an operation against the Italian resistance movement during the Italian Campaign of World War II. On 12 August 1944, about 560 (130 children) local villagers and refugees were murdered and their bodies burnt in a scorched earth policy action by the German occupation forces of the Waffen-SS. The youngest victim was a 20-month old baby. I knew a man who had relatives slaughtered there. Spike Lee made a fictional movie about this unfortunately. It's called "Miracle at St. Anna's." I do not recommend it. It's a travesty & a slap-in-the-face to history & the survivors. This is a picture of the village. I don't have any photos of the victims (thus no thread of it's own.)  · |

Re: Photo's From The Massacre At Oradour-sur-Glane
I could be mistaken, but I also believe that "The Massacre At Oradour-sur-Glane" must have been the inspiration for Kate Winslet's character in the 2008 film, "The Reader." Nominated for Best Picture, it's worth watching, especially for young David Kross's performance, as well as Bruno Ganz as a Holocaust Survivor, who ironically had played Adolf Hitler in 2004's German film "Downfall." "Downfall" is an incredible, bold movie all around, & Ganz's performance is exemplary.
