This June 6, 1944, file photo shows American soldiers of the Allied Expeditionary Force securing a beachhead during initial landing operations at Normandy, France, June 6, 1944. From the first sketchy German radio broadcast to the distribution of images filmed in color, it has taken decades for the full story of the D-Day invasion to come out. As world leaders and veterans prepare to mark the 70th anniversary of the invasion this week, multiple Twitter hashtags are following the ceremonies minute by minute. At the time, the reporting, filming and taking of photos was neither easy nor straightforward. (AP Photo/Weston Haynes, File)

ADVANCE FOR STORY SLUGGED D-DAY FRENCH GI BY LORI HINNANT FOR RELEASE ON WEDNESDAY, MAY 28, 2014. In this photo dated July 1944 and provided by Dargols' family shows Bernard Dargols posing next to a Willys MB U.S. Army Jeep in Normandy, France. When the young Frenchman left Paris at age 18, the plan was to go to New York for a year and learn the sewing machine trade. Six years later, Bernard Dargols found himself crossing the English Channel in a U.S. Army uniform, sloshing ashore at Omaha Beach to a homeland that had stripped his Jewish family of their rights and sent some to die in concentration camps. This French GI, now in his 90s, recounts to AP his remarkable story. (AP Photo/Courtesy of Bernard Dargols' family)
