ORADOUR-SUR-GLANE 4K (New Aquitaine, France). 1944 massacre memorial town. 

My husband and I visited Oradour-Sur-Glane in 2015. Having visited several of the war memorials it was somewhere we felt it was important for us to visit. Nothing prepares you for the atmosphere it still holds. Visiting Oradour had an impact on us that we still talk about often. The honesty and simplicity of the town says more than any purpose built memorial could. Thank you for taking the time to film and share your video.

Thank you for sharing. Blessings from Australia 21/06/23

i feels like time has stopped there. It is still 1944 in this place where hundred of souls are still roaming in agony and pain.

Thank you very much for choosing to share with us Oradour-Sur-Glane. The WWII massacre should never be forgotten. It’s heartbreaking to think how evil we as humans can become to be able to perpetrate such horror. I’m thoroughly enjoying your beautiful travel videos, this video though was very special. Mercy beaucoup.

your video is like a memorial...the silence and your steps...it is well filmed and the emotion grips us. How is it possible to burn 200 children alive?!...by god, how is that possible?......... I really like the ending scene...this river is like a clearing in the stupidity of men. thx you !

Wij zijn hier als gezin enkele jaren geleden geweest. Zeer aangrijpend. Het laat me niet meer los. Bedankt voor deze ingetogen weergave van deze plek.

Visited this place 3 years ago. Was very moving. It's like time has stood still. This tragedy is mentioned in opening scene of the epic TV series world at war. Must of been awful for the victims. Very sad.

I've been to Oradour found it very moving this should never be forgotten thank you for sharing

Merci, pour votre vidéo,🙏🏻 sobre et respectueuse. Pour ne jamais oublier, pour les futurs générations..plus jamais ça...

Thank you for a beautiful and respectful video of such an awful travesty.

Merci Felipe, j’apprécie le format de tes vidéos et le choix de tes visites. J’espère que tu vas continuer

This video is so respectful and moving.

Thank you. Recording this must have been very difficult for you. I found it extremely hard so I can only imagine what it must feel like actually walking through the village and the emotional ties with the stones of the buildings. Once again thank you.

Thankyou for an incredible video its very moving.

Merci pour ce reportage plein de simplicité et de silence respectueux. Vos courts écrits résument bien ce qui s'est passé à Oradour. Quelle bonne idée d'avoir filmé votre arrivée dans la campagne et d'avoir terminé cette vidéo avec cette rivière si symbolique. Merci.

Thank u so much for making/posting this video!! For many yrs now I have been extremely interested in WW2...this has ALWAYS been one place I wanted to go to, to see first hand and to pay my respects to all of those innocent victims 😢....and I know I most likely will never have the chance to be able to go there.....so I truly ty so very much for this video!!!💜

well done! this video is exactly what i was looking for. excellent videography. many thx. new sub.

I visited Biirkenau in Poland walking through the gates my hairs stood up on my body. I would imagine this village does the same. Great video.

thanks for making this video

Très très difficile à commenter en effet... Ce n'est sans doute pas la meilleure visite que vous avez faite en France ! Très courageux de votre part : MERCI Malheureusement, il y en a eu d'autres atrocités comme celle-là, notamment aux Lucs-sur-Boulogne en Vendée, pendant la Révolution Française ! Les Républicains ont brûlé tous les habitants (femmes, enfants et hommes) de ce petit village car ils étaient vendéens, catholiques et contre les idées de la terreur (une guerre civile, en somme, car entre français) Souvenirs très douloureux, toutes ces horreurs

I do see changes from when I visited, I was only 8 I think. So that is about 38 years ago. It left a deep impression on me. There are a lot less cars and other metallic objects then I remember, less trees as well. Also remember a fountain or something that had running water that dropped into a stone box of some kind under a tree, haven't seen that either in any recent video. And the old memorial is clearly no longer in use which is rather sad to see.

Thank You

Very impressive video. I hope to visit it one day.

I visited many years ago. Very moving experience

Impresionante vídeo pero muy triste lo que pasó , nuevo seguidor saludos👍

Ogni commento è vano al cospetto di tanta efferatezza nei confronti di quelle povere persone che hanno pagato solo per il fatto di trovarsi lì. Possano questi assassini criminali che hanno perpetrato tanta malvagità ardere nelle fiamme dell inferno come hanno fatto a questa povera gente, ma per l eternità! Silenzio, rispetto e preghiera per questo luogo e per queste anime che hanno perso la vita in un modo così atroce.

Whent 20 years ago and I had tears and a lump in my throat it's very sad

My father, Emery, was a WW2 paratrooper with the 101st Airborne Division, 506 PIR. He jumped on D-Day near Carentan and then fought across France, in Bastogne against the SS, and then into Germany. I'm so very proud of how he fought to destroy the wicked Nazis army that destroyed this innocent village.

On my bucket list. It's easy to dismiss the rusted old cars as just piles of rusty metal. But every one of those vehicles served a purpose. They were somebody's work truck or family runabout, and then, one day. They just weren't anymore. and left for all time, right where they stood. Very sad.

И почти никто из участников этой акции не понес заслуженного наказания! Все в лучших традициях того времени! ФРГ не выдала, амнистия, большинство убийц спокойно дожили свой век у себя дома, в комфорте, в окружении своих семей.

great video

Looking at this and seeing where we stand today, it seems that we never learn from history

It is said that people who walk through the village can still smell.the fire and burnt wood. The church seems to be haunted.

Seemed like a quaint little quiet town. This was a sad story.

❤

On the 9th of June the day before this my grandfather Fabien David was walking to the store to get my mother some milk she was 6 mons old the nazis just happened to be coming down the same road as my grandpa they shot him to death for no reason. My mom never met her dad and I was only told this story from my grandma and great grandpa

Has Germany ever apologised for this deliberate atrocity? These were unarmed innocents. A tragedy.

Грустно. Понимаем, каково это. С небольшой поправкой - в СССР они сожгли тысячи деревень

I visited Oradour as German Soldier..2015.

your heart must be in your mouth treading in a place of such tragedy. How truly horrifying to realise that out of all those german troops not one of them had the humanity and courage to step forward and say no to committing a war crime and followed the order to gun down and burn innocent people to death.

I remember my visit so sad and a reminder of mans inhumanity to man

Eerie surreal

During the war crime trial.most of german troop carry out the killing were from alsace.

Wasnt this tragic event more to do with the abduction of SS Major/General Kampfe who ended up dead in a pig pen and his truppens inability to find him?

So sad

RIP To the 643 French civilians who were murdered by the Waffen-SS under Adolf Diekmann and Heinz Lammerding in the Oradour-sur-Glane massacre

The bullet holes in the WWI memorial was symbolic. If you think history doesn’t repeat itself, think again.

The last survivor died in February 2023.

life stopped in Oradour sur Glane on june 10 th 1944. 642 innocent people were massacred there. remember : that is what fascism looks like and its consequences

Acının katliamın trajedinin dini dili ırkı olmaz kim insanlığa suç işlerse onu şiddetle kınıyorum Zalimler için yaşasın cehennem

Just watching this video is so haunting, it was an abominable act.

Интересно, существуют ли в современной Франции политики, которые говорят, что уже прошло много лет, зачем лишний раз вспоминать все эти ужасы войны, надо думать о будущем, не за чем прошлое ворошить? Надо понять, простить и забыть?

Four years later, survivors of Nazi barbarism committed a horror as macabre as this one. A few thousand kilometers from here in Deir Yassin. Not only is this massacre is not known but even its remains were razed by bulldozers to build another village and settle a population coming from far away. Thus the village of Deir Yassin does no longer exists, the new village is called Givat Shaul. Another detail, none of the killers went to prison.

This would be an ideal place to try Putin for his war crimes.
