One year after the D-Day landings in Normandy, German prisoners landscape the area around a former German pill box at Saint-Laurent-sur-Mer, France, near &quot;Omaha&quot; Beach, May 28, 1945. The pill box, with a knocked out, gun still visible, will be made into a monument dedicated to U.S. assault forces.
