In this photo taken on Tuesday, June 4, 2019, Gerard and Paulette Gondouin show photos at their home in in Fel, France. The couple, teenagers in 1944, were forever scarred by witnessing the destruction unleashed by Canadian, British, American, Polish and French forces that squeezed and bombarded the encircled Germans near Chambois and its surrounding villages, cutting off their routes of escape during World War II. D-Day marked only the beginning of the Allied struggle to wrest Europe from the Nazis. A commemoration Tuesday served as a reminder of this, in the shadow of bigger D-Day 75th anniversary commemorations. (AP Photo/John Leicester)
