June 1944. As Allied forces storm the beaches of Normandy, the German 2nd SS Panzer Division Das Reich begins a campaign of terror across occupied France. In the town of Tulle, 99 men are hanged in public as a warning to others. The next day, the same SS unit destroys the nearby village of Oradour-sur-Glane, killing 642 men, women, and children.
This is the story of brutal reprisals, local resistance, and the war crimes that still haunt France today.
