Aerial view of old Oradour
This hand-coloured, black and white aerial photograph of Oradour-Sur-Glane seems to have been taken between the late 1950's and mid 60's. As can be seen the southern entrance to the ruins lacks the small visitor reception building of the late 60's (see photo). The crypt housing many of the exhibits salvaged from the ruins, such as watches, clocks, prams, banknotes and children's toys can be seen in front of the cemetery.
I have been unable to find out who holds the copyright for this photograph (it has been taken from an old postcard).
