Entrance to Oradour, from Limoges road

    The entrance to Oradour, looking into town on the D9 from Limoges and taken sometime during 1938. This is the route that the SS took on the 10th of June. The original entrance to the ruins and the present-day wall enclosing them, is just past where the car is shown parked. Notice the similarity between the church steeple and that of Oradour-sur-Vayres.
