Summary: "We Were There at the Normandy Invasion" by Clayton Knight is a historical account written in the mid-20th century. The narrative centers around the experiences of a young boy, André, and his family as they navigate life in Normandy during World War II, particularly highlighting their involvement with the Underground Resistance and the events surrounding the D-Day invasion. The book captures the tension, bravery, and complexities of ordinary people's lives amidst the backdrop of war. At the start of the story, we are introduced to André Gagnon, a twelve-year-old boy, his family, and their small village in Normandy. As rumors of an imminent invasion circulate, the Gagnons become involved in hiding a downed British pilot, Ronald Pitt, as they work with the local Resistance, called the Maquis. The opening chapters set a vivid scene of life under Nazi occupation, depicting André's interactions with German soldiers, the anxiety of his family, and the joint efforts of the villagers to maintain a semblance of normalcy and support the Allied cause. The stage is set for the challenges and dangers they will face as the long-awaited invasion begins. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
