101 Airborn Division Memorial

Highlight • Monument

After crossing the Channel, the plane is in the Cotentin sky, but before the men have time to jump, the plane is hit by the flak. The aircraft crashes in a field near the village of Beuzeville-au-Plain, killing all of its occupants. After extinguishing the fire, the inhabitants of the village bury the remains of the American soldiers in a cemetery in Sainte-Mère-Église. On March 27, 1951, the body of Thomas Meehan was exhumed and transferred to the United States where he was reburied at the Jefferson Barracks Military Post National Cemetery in Lemay, Missouri.

Sainte-Mère-Église Church

Highlight • Religious Site

During the night of June 5, 1944. A fire raged in this village. Everyone helps put out the fire. The light of the fire was then interpreted by an American plane pilot as being a sign that these passengers had been released. American paratroopers land by mistake in the town.

One of the paratroopers is carried by his parachute onto the church tower where he remains hanging for hours, while the fighting rages below him. This is one of the most incongruous stories of the landing of June 6, 1944. You discover this in this town that has become legendary for history buffs.
