Illustration - Church Of Sainte-Mere-Eglise

This photograph taken on April 25, 2024, shows the church of Sainte-Mere-Eglise, northwestern France, where a dummy depicting a paratrooper is hanging. An American paratrooper - John Marvin Steele 1912-1969 - landed on the pinnacle of the church tower in Sainte-Mere-Eglise, first village to be liberated by the United States Army during Operation Overlord on June 6, 1944. In June, France will hold a ceremony to mark the 80th anniversary of the 1944 Normandy landings also known as the D-Day landings along the Normandy beaches, an operation that laid the foundations of the Allied victory on the Western Front.
