...has been sentenced to two years in prison by a French court after he made a film contesting a brutal Second World War massacre by Nazi SS storm-troopers.

The conviction of Vincent Reynouard, 33, coincides with the 60th anniversary today of the slaughter of 642 villagers, including 245 women and 207 children, at Oradour-sur-Glane on 10 June, 1944, four days after the D-Day landings by Allied forces.


He says the resistance tortured German soldiers to death and has found evidence for an explosion of resistance ammo in the church rather than a german massacre was the cause of the french civilian deaths.
