In this photo dated May 14, 2014, Andree Auvray answers question during an interview with the Associated Press in Sainte Mere Eglise in Normandy, France. Andree Auvray, nine months pregnant, was hiding from German bombings in a Normandy ditch with her husband one night in June 1944 when their dogs started barking. The shadows of three soldiers appeared. The soldiers were Americans. D-Day had begun. Auvray relives that wrenching time with clarity and a growing sense of urgency. Seventy years have passed since the Allied invasion of Normandy helped turn the tide against Hitler. With their numbers rapidly diminishing, she and other French women and men who owe their freedom to D-Day's fighters are more determined than ever to keep alive the memory of the battle and its meaning.

A Chinese man stands alone to block a line of tanks heading east on Beijing's Cangan Boulevard in Tiananmen Square on June 5, 1989.

The perils of World War II directly shaped the lives of Elizabeth, 88, and Philip, 92. The anniversary is so heartfelt that the royal couple is preparing to cross the English Channel once more, this time on a Eurostar train through the Channel Tunnel Elizabeth helped 20 years ago.

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)
