We will be in touch
I'm looking for a book about the French in WW2.
A bit specialist I grant you, but the idea that 'Ello, 'Ello and others would have us belive seems, in reality, to be somewhat wide of the mark.
So, if you know of any good historically factual books then please let me know.

Does it have to be in English?
I've seen some great books about the Resistance here in France. But they in French.

SB - I'd heard of that place somewhere before. Must be a strange experience to see? I take it the whole town is derelict?
tank - yes, it's an erie place. I've been a couple of times.
The whole town as of 1944 stands derelict. Left as it was as a reminder of the horrors of war. The new town stands alongside it......
There's loads of pictures of it on flick r.... [url= http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=oradour+sur+glane ]here[/url].
Cheers - very interesting
