Hollande y el presidente alemán visitan Oradour-sur-Glane, arrasado por los nazis en 1944 y hoy un memorial deshabitado. 69 años después, las cicatrices físicas y morales de la mayor matanza de civiles cometida por los nazis en Francia durante la II Guerra Mundial siguen siendo visibles.

Down this road on a summer day in 1944, the soldiers came. Nobody lives here now. They stayed only a few hours. When they had gone, the community, which had lived for a thousand years, was dead. This is Oradour-sur-Glane, in France. The day the soldiers came, the people were gathered together. The men were taken to garages and barns, the women and children were led down this road, and they were driven into this church. Here, they heard the firing as their men were shot. Then they were killed too. A few weeks later, many of those who had done the killing were themselves dead, in battle. They never rebuilt Oradour. Its ruins are a memorial. Its martyrdom stands for thousands upon thousands of other martyrdoms in Poland, in Russia, in Burma, China, in a world at war.

#1, justo es el único episodio de "el mundo en guerra" que vi, y pensaba que a estas alturas si se habría edificado algo ahí porque el docu rondará los 30 años ya.

Cierran heridas con valentía, con amor a sus países y buscando un futuro mejor para vencedores y vencidos. Algo que jamás veremos en la derecha española.

Pos no, no son 30 años... The World at War (1973–74) is a 26-episode British television documentary series chronicling the events of the Second World War. At the time of its completion in 1973 it was the most expensive series ever made, costing £900,000.
