Intriguing footage - would have been a lot better if there had been a voice or text running commentary. The brief explanation given should have been at the beginning - not the end. For anyone who knew nothing of the massacre the footage would have had no significance.

The bird, by the way is called a "coal tit", NOT a "cold tit!"

@bighassan Sorry, It's just a home movie.

I wasn't trying to be destructively critical - sorry if my comment annoyed you. In fact I would love to visit Oradour next year and was very pleased to have the opportunity to look at your footage.

Best wishes!
