D-day American paratroopers - Written by the Airborne Museum
So much more than just a book: this commemorative work, produced for the first time in conjunction with the Sainte-Mère-Eglise Airborne Museum’s outstanding collection, retraces the epic journey of the victorious troops of the 82nd and 101st airborne divisions from their inception to their combat missions in Normandy, Holland, Belgium and on to Germany. Many documents and artifacts from the Museum's collection illustrate the pages of this account of the paratroopers' perilous mission, the accomplishment of which was crucial to the success of the allied invasion of Normandy. The sacrifices, made by the American paratroopers, remain one of the greatest military achievements of the D Day landings and the battle of Normandy. On June 6th 1944, the destinies of those men and the small village of Sainte-Mère-Eglise were entwined in perpetuity. 172 PAGES

As a good drawing is often better than a thousand explanations, what could be better than a Comic Strip to tell the tale of Operation Overlord and the Allied Landings in Normandy ? Without wishing to give a parody of a famous phrase printed by an equally famous newspaper read by young people aged 7 to 70, it is clear that comic strips are read by a very wide public.

Jean QUELLIEN - Ed OREP
One of the major confrontations of the Second World War began when Allied troops landed on the coast of Normandy. Twelve weeks of vicious combat in the hedgerows, in the cornfields of the plain around Caen and in the region's ruined towns and villages were to determine the outcome of the war on the Westenr Front and precipate the fall of the Third Reich. Normandy was to carry the scars of battle for many years. Its martyrdom was the ransom to pay for the final victory.It is fitting that the sacrifice of a region and its inhabitants be forever linked in our memories to the sacrifice of those young men who came from over the Channel and over the Atlantic, and who now rest inpeace forever in this land they came to liberate.
