Objectif Sainte-Mère-Eglise

American paratroopers on D-Day, based on the collections of the Airborne Museum.

Bilingual French/English edition, hardcover, 172 pages.

"Much more than a book, this memorial work, created for the first time around the exceptional collections of the Airborne Museum in Sainte-Mère-Église, retraces the victorious epic of the American airborne troops of the 82nd and 101st Airborne Divisions, from their creation to the battles in Normandy, Holland, Belgium, and then Germany. The numerous documents and collectibles from the museum that illustrate these pages recount 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 Normandy landings and the Battle of Normandy, forever sealing the fate of these men to that of the small Norman village of Sainte-Mère-Église on June 6, 1944.
