There's a French village preserved today that shows a village after decimation by the enemy.
The village at Oradour-sur-Glane serves as a reminder that
even a month after the Normandy invasion, Frenchmen suspected of aiding the resistance were marched out to be shot. Ultimately,
none in the village survived that day. Below is a photograph of male Oradour-sur-Glane villagers being rounded up.
A piece of WWII trivia, is that the enemy's uniforms were designed by Boss of New York.
