    Odadour sur Glane has been preserved.
    ... It was left in ruins, so the people deserted it after WW11. ended.
    ....Nearby they built another village


    The village rebuilt now.

    Interesting that they never rebuilt the original village. Too many sad memories?

    I found the video very moving and sad. That happened just a week before my birth and the stories that follow the second world war are too often forgotten. That village cannot ever be replaced.
    History repeats itself time and time again, and this awful event is being replicated over and over again - even right now :smt022
