Miquelon.org – The Fighting French

In 1944, as a reprisal for a Resistance attack, SS troops murdered 642 residents of tiny Oradour-sur-Glane, including 190 children and several Jews the villagers were sheltering. Only two residents survived, a woman and an eight-year-old boy. No American, not even a war veteran like Rooney, has the right to make easy judgments about what happened in occupied France.
