Vandals desecrated a sacred memorial to the victims of the deadliest Planet War II massacre in Nazi-occupied France.
The vandalism to the memorial at Oradour-sur-Glane in central France still left the region outraged.
On June 10, 1944, an SS armored division herded villagers into barns and a church, and set them ablaze, killing 642 folks. Only 6 survived.
The vandals painted the memorial with graffiti calling the killings a lie, in accordance to experiences.

“Shame on all those who did this,” Justice Minister Eric Dupond-Moretti tweeted. “All will be accomplished to find and decide those who committed these sacrilegious acts.”

The massacre transpired four times after the Allied D-Working day landings in Normandy. The killings were being believed to have been purchased in retaliation for the kidnapping of a German soldier by the French Resistance.
