Good lord, just read this story about this SS Officer involved in the massacre of a whole town (and others) in France in 1944. I know a lot of atrocities happened all over the war zones areas and for the duration of WW2, but learning about ones I hadn't heard about before is always so astounding to me ... that so many people were victims of the SS. Atrocious events and numbers are incomprehensible.

As far as I'm concerned NO Mr. Barth, you did not pay long enough or in the right way for what you done, especially considering you bopped along free from responsibility and accountability until 1981 leaving ended lives and grief that never quits for the losses and destruction in your wake!!!

Sigh.

FYI, I have established a 5' x 5' rock cairn in a private part of my property.

I'm split between signing it in memory of Oradour-sur-Glane or Abbaye d'Ardennes.
