EDITORS COMMENTS

The date was July 9th, 1944, forever etched in history as a turning point in World War II. The image reveals the devastating impact of sustained bombardment on this once-thriving French town. Giant craters scarred its suburbs, serving as grim reminders of the fierce conflict that unfolded here. The aerial onslaught had caused substantial damage to buildings and infrastructure alike. In this snapshot frozen in time, we catch a glimpse of what war truly entails - destruction and loss. Yet amidst these ruins lie stories of bravery and sacrifice; soldiers who fought valiantly to liberate Caen from enemy forces.
