• Oradour-sur-Glane Massacre During World War II, in the town of Oradour-sur-Glane near Limoges, France, German SS units committed a horrific war crime. They systematically rounded up the entire population, locking men in barns and women and children in a church. The SS then used machine guns to fire indiscriminately into both groups before setting the buildings ablaze. This brutal act of terror resulted in approximately 642 civilians being murdered, with only a handful of survivors. The massacre was a deliberate act of reprisal and intimidation, intended to crush local resistance and deter the French population from supporting the Maquis (French Resistance).

In a savage act of retaliation for a partisan attack, the soldiers killed 218 innocent men, women, and children. This atrocity was part of the Nazi occupation's systematic strategy of terror and collective punishment against civilian populations suspected of supporting resistance movements.
