In the ruins of a village destroyed by the SS, French premier tries to
end 60 years of hatred

The French Prime Minister, Jean Pierre-Raffarin, sought yesterday to
end six decades of bitterness between France and Germany - and between
different parts of France - at the site of a village whose population
were massacred by SS troops 60 years ago.
Oradour-sur-Glane, near Limoges in central France, has never been
rebuilt.
The ruins remain just as they were left by soldiers of the SS "Das
Reich" armoured division four days after D-Day in 1944. No less than
642 people - including 213 children and 246 women - lay dead in the
ruins, machine-gunned by the SS in random reprisal for actions by the
Resistance to help the Allies.
