    The "World at War" begins "Down this road... the soldiers came. Nobody lives here now." Down the road to which village?

    Question #12363. Asked by midge. (Jun 10 01 11:43 AM)

    		The village in question is Oradour-sur-Glane, near Limoges in central France. Here 642 people were massacred by the Nazis on 10 June 1944 and the village itself was razed to the ground. It has never been rebuilt.

    		"Down this road, on a summer day in 1944, the soldiers came. Nobody lives here now. They stayed only a few hours. When they had gone, a community which had lived for a thousand years was dead. This is Oradour sur Glane."
