After the wedding, local townspeople wave goodbye as the newly married couple drive off in a U.S. military vehicle. Later we see them on the balcony of their hotel. Arthur, who served with the Ninth Air Force, was a combat cameraman who filmed the liberation of Paris and Buchenwald concentration camp. While in Paris he met the love of his life, Germaine.

Germaine predeceased Arthur. Arthur was there the previous summer in
