D-Day hell, joy of civilians told anew with virtual reality

PHOTOS BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS In this photo taken on May 17, spelunker Laurent Dujardin points to artifacts left by World War II refugees in a quarry in Fleury-sur-Orne, near Caen, Normandy. Archaeologists are making 3-D models of the network of tunnels that served as a bomb shelter for hundreds of civilians during the battle of Normandy that followed D-Day.
