At the heart of the Haute Vienne region of France, there is a village some 10 km from Limoges. The name of this village is Oradour sur Glane. On the 10th of June, 1944, this quaint village was the scene of a barbaric massacre, at the hands of the evil Nazis. Over 150 heavily armed SS soldiers entered this peaceful village and rounded up 642 men, women, and children. After hearing false reports that they were part of the resistance movement, upon orders, these vile men systematically murdered these innocent civilians, with few survivors! Before fleeing the scene, they torched the village, in an attempt to erase the atrocities. Under orders of France's General de Gaulle, the remains of the village have been preserved, as a reminder of what happened on that fateful day.

However I don't believe the Nazis were going out of their way to help women out of the burning Church. I think they may have erred on the selection of which town named Oradour as well as been angry at the death of 4-5 of their comrades. I am sure the Germans felt that killing 640 to avenge 5 was great Hitlerian math.
The story was definitely worth listening to.
