Paintings of German soldiers before World War II are displayed on the walls of Franquetot's castle here, June 7, 2014. Franquetot's castle was once occupied by German soldiers and later by American pilots after D-Day. The event was one of several commemorations of the 70th Anniversary of D-Day operations conducted by Allied forces during World War II June 5-6, 1944. Over 650 U.S. military personnel have joined troops from several NATO nations to participate in ceremonies to honor the events at the invitation of the French government. http://www.eucom.mil/key-activities/featured-events/d-day-june-6-1944 (U.S. Air Force photo/Staff Sgt.
