German man charged over WW2 Oradour massacre in France

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-25656746

An 88-year-old German man has been charged with involvement in one of the most infamous World War Two massacres. The charges relate to Oradour-sur-Glane in central France, where 642 people were murdered by SS troops in 1944 ... The ruins of the village have been preserved just as they were after the massacre, as a permanent memorial.

I have visited Oradour-sur-Glane twice, once as a missionary and the second time on vacation with my wife. It is a very humbling and sorrowful experience.
