Much more than a book, this memorial work, realized for the first time around the exceptional collections of the Airborne Museum of Sainte-Mère-Eglise, retraces the victorious epic of the American airborne troops of the 82nd and 101st Airborne, from their creation to the battles of Normandy, Holland, Belgium, then Germany.
The numerous documents and objects from the museum's collection, which illustrate these pages, retrace the perilous mission of these soldiers on whom the success of the Allied landings in Normandy depended.
The sacrifice of the American paratroopers on D-Day remains one of the great feats of arms of the D-Day landings and the Battle of Normandy, sealing forever the fate of these men to that of the small Norman village of Sainte-Mère-Eglise, on June 6, 1944.
