D-DEAD
Only one French unit – the Fusiliers Marins Commandos captained by Philippe Kieffer – partook in the beach-storming Normandy landings that eventually freed their homeland. Over half the squad died at D-Day, and the death of Léon Gautier marks the complete extinction of the unit. Gautier fought in the Congo, Syria, and Lebanon before Normandy, and post-WWII he campaigned for peace. He was 100 and picked by God’s Gonna Gettem.
