Down this road, on a summer day in 1944. . . The soldiers came. Nobody lives here now. They stayed only a few hours. When they had gone, the community which had lived for a thousand years. . . was dead.
This is Oradour-sur-Glane, in France. The day the soldiers came, the people were gathered together. The men were taken to garages and barns, the women and children were led down this road . . . and they were driven. . . into this church. Here, they heard the firing as their men were shot. Then. . . they were killed too. A few weeks later, many of those who had done the killing were themselves dead, in battle.
They never rebuilt Oradour. Its ruins are a memorial. Its martyrdom stands for thousands upon thousands of other martyrdoms in Poland, in Russia, in Burma, in China, in a World at War...
And at the end of episode 26, while another aerial shot of the village ruins plus photos of various massacre victims was being shown to the accompaniment of dramatic music, Olivier said:
At the village of Oradour-sur-Glane, the day the soldiers came, they killed more than six hundred men, women and children. Remember.

  • Erdoğan is Islamist thrash, who is busy dismantling Mustafa Kemal Atatürk's secular Turkish state and aligning Turkey with the likes of Wahhabi Islamists, many of whom are virulently racist and regard persons of Turkic ethnicity as being equivalent to cockroaches. Britain already has a severe security and social cohesion problem  with it's existing Muslim community and bizarrely Cameron wants to create an additional stream of Muslim immigration in to the UK, through Turkish entry to the EU.
