We Were There at the Normandy Invasion

We Were There at the Normandy Invasion

We Were There at the Normandy Invasion

Clayton Knight

June 6, 1944. A young French boy named André Gagnon watches the largest naval invasion in history unfold from the hedgerows of Normandy. When a British airman crashes behind German lines, André is thrust into the dangerous world of the Maquis the French Underground fighting to liberate their homeland. What follows is a breathless cascade of hidden escapees, occupied villages, and the chaos of war seen through eyes too young to understand it all, but old enough to feel the weight of resistance. This is D-Day not from the perspective of generals or soldiers, but from a child who knows the cost of occupation in his bones and whose small acts of courage become part of something enormous. An adventure that renders the historical monumental human.
