A small village called Oradour Sul Glane in France have shown a very terrible state conditions. During World War II, 642 residents were massacred by German soldiers as a form of retaliation for the French against the treatment time. Germany who was actually intended to attack the region near Oradour Sul Glane but eventually they attacked the small settlement on June 10, 1944.

According to the testimony of those who survived, the population of men put into a warehouse and German soldiers opened fire on their feet so that eventually they die slowly. Women and children who entered into the church, eventually all the dead were shot when they tried to get out of the church. Oradour Sul Glane completely destroyed the German army at that time. And to this day the ruins of the village is still standing and bears witness to just how cruel events that occurred at that time.
