Links to other sites
relating to Oradour-sur-Glane 10th June 1944

The following websites either have a section dealing with Oradour or are good sources of background data or other useful material, including places to stay in the area. It often seems that these sites can become unavailable from time to time, if this proves to be the case, please let me know and I will amend the list.

Contact details for accommodation in the area are now to be found on the How to get there and places to stay page.

• AAARGH website. This site gives a very valuable review of the evidence offered at the trial in Bordeaux in 1953. (Please note that this site does seem to vary a bit and the Oradour section is not always there)
   
• Axis History Factbook. By: Marcus Wendal. This site is a compendium of data on all aspects of W.W.II
  
  
• Centre de la Mémoire. This is the official French national website for Oradour and it had French, English, German and Dutch sections when it first opened in December 2002 (it was not until 23rd February 2003 that it had useful content). This website was often unavailable during 2005 and starting in January 2006 it underwent a complete revision, with the new version being ready from 1st February 2006. Be warned that this website seems to suffer from frequent downtime and it may not always be available. There is to be an English version at some time in the future, but no date is presently available.

• Das Reich. By: Dan Reinbold. This site is specifically concerned with the Das Reich Division and has an Oradour section.
  
  
• Paula Hitler / Wolf. This small website gives more information about Hitler's sister than is contained here. It is not directly concerned with the Oradour story, but is included for interest.
   
• The Georges Guingouin Resource Website. This website deals with the life and career of Georges Guingouin, the FTP resistance leader.
   
• WWII Newsgroup often dealing with Oradour This and other Newsgroups are places of discussion and for interchange of ideas on WWII matters. Newsgroups are useful things and unlike Forums you do not have to join them and / or complete any form of site registration in order to be able to use them. For this link to work you will need to have a suitable Newsgroup reader installed on your machine (such as Outlook Express).
   
• Trial Judgements On-Line. This website lists many German trial judgements for war crimes and crimes against humanity for both the old West Germany and East Germany. In 2009 it was mostly in German, but there is the promise of increasing English availability. Heinz Barth's trial is listed on this website.
