EDITORS COMMENTS
The Cafe Gondree, a historic landmark in Normandy, France, holds a significant place in World War II history as the first house to be liberated on D-Day, June 6, 1944. Located beside the Pegasus Bridge on the Caen Canal, this quaint cafe has stood the test of time, bearing witness to the momentous events that unfolded around it. In the early hours of D-Day, British Special Air Service (SAS) troops, led by Major John Howard, landed behind enemy lines and secured the Pegasus Bridge, a crucial strategic point for the Allied invasion. The Cafe Gondree, located nearby, was the first building they encountered and took control of, marking the beginning of the liberation of Normandy from German occupation. The black-and-white photograph captures the Cafe Gondree in 1992, decades after the historic event. The cafe, with its rustic wooden facade and red shutters, stands proudly against the backdrop of the tranquil Caen Canal. The Pegasus Bridge, a symbol of the Allied victory, can be seen in the distance, spanning the canal and connecting the two banks. The Cafe Gondree remains an essential piece of history, a testament to the bravery and determination of the Allied forces during World War II. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made to secure freedom and peace for future generations.
