If French soldiers under orders had done the same in a German village, how would French descendants feel about it... Why shame them for something elders did?<br />Food for thought!! !))<br />Keep well Diane and thanks anyhow for the tour, it certainly must be very painful to roam about those eery streets!!Noushkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11583459949373167021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3945050858396741262.post-48885856915329206112010-09-22T18:24:54.142+02:002010-09-22T18:24:54.142+02:00Pam it is a very sad story and yes it is a reminde...Pam it is a very sad story and yes it is a reminder.
