Les Trois Planeurs, Sainte-Mère-Eglise
In the quite village of Sainte-Mère-Eglise, Normandy, France.
As depicted in the 1962 film The Longest Day, there was fierce fighting here as the D-day invasion of Normandy began and American parachutists started to land and were challenged by German occupying forces. One of the Americans, John Steele, famously got his parachute caught on the church tower and hung there in that exposed position for two hours while the battle raged below.

Later to escape and continue fighting and win the bronze star.
One of the wonderful stories of D- Day, for me, is thinking of army sergeant J.D.Salinger hitting the beach with pages of Catcher in the Rye in his kit, and going on to fight all the way through to the German concentration camps.
