Something Old, Something New

Interesting articles and video, coinciding with the theme of my new novel (out soon), 'Something Old, Something New':

If you don't understand French, the 80 year old German admits he was at Oradour-sur-Glane as a teenage soldier of the Waffen SS Das Reich. He reckons he heard the explosion in the church & the cries of the women & children but he was positioned on the edge of the town. The soldiers had to obey orders to shoot from their mad superiors.

Robert Hébras, one of the survivors who lost his mother
& sisters in the atrocity, says that no witnesses ever admit
to firing the guns but how did 642 people die?
The memory may have haunted the SS soldier's soul
 but what about those who were massacred?
The question about who did what at Oradour remains.

He has a point.
