Excellent episode mate. A chilling reminder of the utter brutality and tragedy of war.

[@afewminutesofhistory]

Thanks bud, absolutely, savagery which was sadly repeating over and over again until the war was over.

[@NiteMar-f5s]

I think it’s good it was never rebuilt, it feels right. It’s a really powerful message

[@Bus-xh7gn]

The sad thing is, someone somewhere is defending the SS over this

[@mikehall5815]

This is so crazy! War can turn a decent person into a monster. I'm so glad I have never experienced war. Thanks for sharing.

[@afewminutesofhistory]

It absolutely is, I think it’s really poignant that the village was never rebuilt. A lasting reminder of the horror of war, and the worst of mankind

God only knows how many villages where wiped out in the east

Horrifying, the place gives me the jeebies I went a few years ago. It’s a surreal place, so many things left as they where in 1944.
It’s so sad, in the church is the remains of a pram, the graveyard is haunting the pictures of the deceased is sad

[@HailCaesar-ph3im]

Oh wow so stuff is just left as it was?

[@CouldYa]

@@HailCaesar-ph3im yeah it is for the most part. Sewing machines and bits like that just sat there bikes, cars

[@thomashynd2291]

I can't even begin to comprehend the terror those poor people must have felt.

[@afewminutesofhistory]

It must of been terrifying.
