The massacre of Oradour-sur-Glane is the destruction, on June 10, 1944, of this village in the Haute-Vienne region, some twenty kilometers northwest of Limoges, and the massacre of its population (642 victims), by a detachment of the 1st Battalion of the 4th Regiment of Panzergrenadier Der Führer belonging to the Panzerdivision Das Reich of the Waffen-SS. This was the largest massacre of civilians committed in France by the German armies, quite similar to those of Marzabotto, or Distomo (the latter also perpetrated on June 10, 1944), which transposed to the Western Front practices common on the Eastern Front.
