Today we went to Oradour-sur-Glane which is abouyt 20 miles from Parc Verger
For anyone that does not know this is the town that the Nazis took reprisal upon and bombed and burned out the village killing all its residents, this in itself was a mistake as they should have attacked Oradour-sur-Vaynes, the next town to Parc Verger.
the town thankfully has been left more or less as it was following the destruction and massacre in June 1944.
I have included a few pictures to help anyone to comprehend the state that so many towns and cities were left in after the second world war as many of us are still too young to remember just what stupidity took place.
I am seldom given to emotions but all I could feel was anger, sadness and above all that such stupidity is taking place even today. I cannot comprehend how so so many people could have been brainwashed to carry out such crime certainly as I feel after the visit if I received such a command from above I would shoot the commander.
I really believe that every politicians office, church, mosque, temple and school should have a selection of these pictures hanging on the wall
To think that it is still going on around the world is beyond my comprehension
Any one in authority that is capable of brainwashing ordinary people or to give an order to aim a bomb or rocket at someone else should in my opinion be stuck in solitary confinement for the rest of their lives
If you are down this neck of the woods the place is well worth a thought provoking visit
