The village of Oradour-sur-Glane in Haute-Vienne, France became the scene of a Nazi war-crime on June 10, 1944. Soldiers of the Der Führer Regiment of the 2nd Waffen-SS Panzer Division Das Reich destroyed the village and killed a total of 642 men, women and children, leaving only a few survivors. To this day there is no universally accepted explanation for the massacre.
