Good morning everyone, unlike yesterday, today, yesterday I arrived in Limoges with 24 degrees, and today I woke up with 8 degrees, which, in a way, is quite pleasant, to be honest, and on my second day of travel, I wanted to come to a town in the French countryside, which would not be important if it were not for the fact that in June 1944, an event occurred here that has several versions, but the most widespread is that when the Germans knew they were going to lose the war, they sent all their troops to Normandy and when passing through here, one of the regiments, well, I will give you the explanation later, or what they say is the explanation, passed through this town, and grabbed all the men, lined them up in the streets of the town, and machine-gunned them all, and the women and children, they locked them in the town church, they set it on fire and whoever wanted to get out they also shot dead. All this, according to historians, is said to have been done because 100 kilometres from here, while they were going to Normande, a commando of the French resistance carried out an attack and killed 18 German soldiers.
In retaliation, Hitler spoke with the lieutenant, the one who commanded the regiment, who was one of the cruelest in the SS, and when he passed through here, he evidently left a mark, or rather, he did not leave one, because after machine-gunning them all and burning them all, he finally decided to burn the entire town and try not to leave a trace as they tried to do in the concentration camps. They say that evidently weeks later it still smelled of meat. Just like in Belchite, the tenants, the people who remained in the town, to leave a testimony of what happened here, decided, just like in Belchite, to leave the town as it was after the bombing, so that everyone would remember what happened, because here exactly the same thing happened.
They left the town as it was after the fire. The problem is that I arrived too early and it's closed. But anyway, I'm going to show you some pictures so you can see how the town turned out.
