This entry piqued my curiosity, and I did a cursory search for the original broadcast; what wording does a government use to position an announcement like this? I didn't find a recording, but I did find a related article from June 12, 1942

...and a newsreel statement from Czechoslovakian President-in-exile Beneš from June 29, 1942

- n4r9 1y agoI was also curious as I haven't heard of this before. There's a Wikipedia page about the massacre: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lidice_massacre https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lidice_massacre It links to a Wikimedia page including photos of written announcements of the massacre in German: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Lidice_massacre#/media/File:Prag_11.6.42.jpg https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Lidice_massacre#... Wikipedia also links to Nurembourg Trial proceedings where apparently footage of the anihilation was presented. See sections 120-121 of https://archive.is/http://avalon.law.yale.edu/imt/02-22-46.asp https://archive.is/http://avalon.law.yale.edu/imt/02-22-46.a... And footage of the immediate aftermath, kept in a secret German archive: https://collections.ushmm.org/search/catalog/irn556023/ https://collections.ushmm.org/search/catalog/irn556023/
- thomassmith65 1y agoI wasn't familiar with the incident either. At first, I assumed it was Oradour-sur-Glane, which was a similar case but in France. I have seen drone footage of current-day Oradour-sur-Glane on Youtube. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oradour-sur-Glane_massacre https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oradour-sur-Glane_massacre
