Kleines Mitbringsel aus Frankreich: Ein Foto des Denkmals der #Résistance in der Normandie. Dieses ehrt die drei Komponenten der Widerstands, je eine Person steht für eine Organisationseinheit: Die Guerilla, die Spionage-Abteilung und die Untergrundbewegung. Das Denkmal würdigt die wichtige Rolle der französischen Résistance von 1940 bis 1945, vor allem für die erfolgreiche Landung der Alliierten in der Normandie am 6. Juni 1944. #DDay #UtahBeach #NFRM
