Read a "Sword and the Pen" book about Oradour Sur Glane. As you say it was a terrible atrocity but by troops that had been fighting on the Russian fronts where such practices were the norm; no excuse of course.
I don't remember them slaughtering everybody but quite some number and it makes little difference how many. The act was terrible.
Wanted to go and see it but was told there isn't a lot to see and its not very sensitively set up (and my wife would go anywhere near it of course).
Pen and the Sword books were always a good read in my opinion.
