Oradour Sur Glane

I visited Oradour Sur Glane a few weeks ago after reading,

' Oradour Sur Glane A vision of Horror' by Guy Pauchou and Dr Pierre Mansfrand

For those of you that would like to know more have a look here:

Hi....yes I went a few years ago now and it was indeed a very sobering experience.

[les hearn]

i went two years ago
felt it was indeed sad
but i also thought too many "props"

there where items placed on walls wich could never have been stored there
and parts missing off cars too
as in engines and axles
but that is pilferers i supose
i think the keepers should move the pots and pans and hanging bikes off the walls and place em on the gorund where they would normaly be

Interesting read, anybody got more evidence to back it up?

Forgive me, but the internet can be full of mis-information.

sure, you are right, I am always sceptical with this stuff, but there was no evidence to be found that it contains "wrong facts"

Some people still deny the holocaust as well - personally, as an Axis reenactor, I keep my distance from material such as this. Those of us that choose to portray any aspect of the Third Reich should do so unapologetically but with sensitivity and acknowledgement to the reality of what was, regardless of personal interpretation, a criminal act.

It's difficult isn't it? People always associate the word Revisionism with Denial, whereas in fact it's just a search to get a bit closer to what actually happened instead of what we've always been told.
I had a relative who was released from Ravensbrueck Camp and told a tale of camp life that differs from published accounts in a number of ways.
Do I have anything to support it other that the personal testimony of a dead old lady? No.
However anything that strays from the currently accepted views of the KZ will instantly get you on the same ticket as the Stormfront eejits

100% agree on this, but "of what was" - which is officially considered as "fact",
has always been filtered by the ones who wrote history, "vae victis"

The Romans wrote history, therefore we know the germanic tribes, Anglo- Saxons, ... as barbarians

human nature hasn't changed since then

for me a crime is a crime, no matter which uniform is worn by the committer,

no need to believe the link, but surely worth checking, I haven't found sources which could proof this being false

i received this info from a Frenchman. Perhaps there is someone who can translate and tell us what it says.

" An exhaustive research has been carried out by Vincent REYNOUARD condemned by the French authorities for holocaust denial and his book that can only be found in French at :

http://www.archive.org/details/LeMassac ... MiseEnScne

has been forbidden by the French interior ministry for possible breach of the peace and possibility to cause public trouble!!"

So perhaps this book can shed further light on what really happened

[BedsnHerts]

Vincent Reynouard is one of the "holocaust never happened" school of authors

Are people aware of exactly why the extermination of Jews and other people/races by the Nazis carries the emotive title of "Holocaust"?

It is because the word is the Greek expression of mass destruction by fire..... and as the victims were largely cremated the term applies.

Genocide is nothing new in human history. Indeed it has carried on since the Nazi era and has taken just as many revolting forms but none had the cold industrialised manner that they formulated.

My point? Holocaust immediately brings to mind Jewish slaughter by Nazis. It is an emotive term and stirs up feelings. Ethnic Cleansing, Genocide, Mass Murder - all the same thing - but strangely lessened and overshadowed by Holocaust.

That is all.

that means we can now use the tern London Holocaust
