The Battle for Normandy, launched with D-Day on June 6, 1944, and lasting until August of that year, claimed an estimated 50,000 Allied and 30,000 German lives. In St. Manvieu War Cemetery, rows of meticulously kept graves, some belonging to soldiers still in their teens, offer a stark but incomplete picture.
Often overlooked are the approximately 20,000 French civilians who perished in one of WWII's most documented episodes, many buried anonymously in mass graves. As museum director Emmanuel Thiébot states, this tragic reality underscores a grim lesson seemingly unlearned: civilian populations continue to bear the brunt of modern conflicts.
