St Mere Eglise
Sainte-Mère-Église is famous for being one of the sites where paratroopers landed as part of D-Day. The church featured in the film 'The Longest Day' which features the true story of paratrooper John Steele who landed on the church spire and remained there (pretending to be dead) until he was freed by German soldiers and captured as a Prisoner of War. There is a permanent tribute to the event with a mannequin and his parachute caught on the spire.
