S.S. PLANS "MEMORIAL JOURNEY" THROUGH FRINCE from Mrs. Dales

The former victims of Nazi persecution in France can expect "unpleasant visitors" in the near future. The SS announces a visit to France. The SS newspaper "Der Freiwillige" in its April issue, is recruiting former members of the SS to participate in a “memorial journey" through Normandy. The visit is to take place from June 3rd to June 10th. The announcement says: “First step of the tour is to be Rouen. In Normandy civcular tours through various dissricts of former battlefields will be organised. Each participant will have the opportunity to visit places where he fought and which will be of special interest to him..."

The statement seems to indicate that the former 5S will be given the chance to refresh their memories of the war. One can only wonder why the tour did not include a visit to the town of Oradour sur_Glane, which suffered total destruction and whose citizens were murded by the SS.
