Baron Pierre de Coubertin may have stood at a modest 5'3", but his impact on the 20th century was nothing short of monumental. From the 1980s, the Parisian educator and historian aimed to revive the ancient Greek tradition of quadrennial celebrations of athletics and the arts. These celebrations, once held in Olympia from 776 BC to 395 AD, laid the groundwork for what we now call the Modern Olympics. During the Ancient Games, athletes shared the stage with philosophers, scholars, poets, musicians, sculptors, and high-profile leaders. Courbertin referred to this gathering of talents as the ‘spi...

Carol Stream (United States) (AFP) - Richard Rung recalls it vividly: German artillery firing on his landing craft, the sound of machine gun bullets striking the vessel, blood mixed with seawater on the deck, troops crying on the beach. It has been nearly eight decades since Rung landed in France on D-Day -- June 6, 1944 -- as a 19-year-old US Navy sailor, part of a massive amphibious invasion that broke through German coastal defenses in a key victory for Allied forces. He now lives in a suburb of Chicago with Dorothy, his wife of 75 years, but his memories of the violence and death he witnes...

Kingwood (United States) (AFP) - Before a T. rex can tower over museum visitors or a Triceratops can show off its huge horns, dinosaur fossils must first be painstakingly reconstructed -- cleaned, fit together and even painted. For US restorationist Lauren McClain, the process is like putting together a giant 3D puzzle. McClain's job begins at her home workshop near Houston, Texas, where she carefully clears away dirt stuck to the more than 60-million-year-old remains using a tiny drill with an air compressor, similar to a dentist's tool. Then, she must assemble this ancient puzzle -- even t...

Polish prosecutors have ended an investigation into human skeletons found at a site where German dictator Adolf Hitler and other Nazi leaders spent time during World War II because their advanced decay made it impossible to determine the cause of death, a spokesman said Monday. The remains were found on February 24 at Wolf's Lair, which served as Hitler's chief headquarters from 1941-44 when the area was part of Germany. Hidden in deep woods, the compound of about 200 Nazi bunkers and military barracks was the site of the failed assassination attempt on Hitler by Colonel Claus Stauffenberg on ...

Plabennec (France) (AFP) - Aimee Dupre had always kept silent about the rape of her mother by two American soldiers after the Normandy landings in June 1944. But 80 years after the brutal assault, she finally felt it was time to speak out. Nearly a million US, British, Canadian and French soldiers landed on the Normandy coast in the weeks after D-Day in an operation that was to herald the end of Nazi Germany's grip on Europe. Aimee was 19, living in Montours, a village in Brittany, and delighted to see the "liberators" arrive, as was everybody around her. But then her joy evaporated. On the ev...
