Original – The ruins of Oradour-sur-Glane, a French town punitively destroyed by the Germans in World War II, as they stood in 2017.
Reason
Interesting snapshot of a town destroyed in World War II. The abandoned car in the foreground helps date it, and the photo is used to illustrate not only the page of the town but the page for modern ruins as a whole. Awarded first prize in the national contest of France in Wiki Loves Monuments 2017.
