Saint Mère Eglise is a historic gem for World War II interested people. Key highlights of this first liberated village by the heroic paratroopers of the 82nd Airborne Division, include the iconic church where paratrooper John Steele unfortunately got caught on the church steeple during the Airborne Operations of the D-Day landings.
Inside the church you'll find 2 very special stained glass windows, offered to the community of Saint Mère Eglise to honor all the fallen American Paratroopers during the early hours of June 6, 1944.
The village-square shows multiple monuments for the 82nd Airborne Division in particular, and there are even some silent witnesses of the fighting in the form of various bulletholes. -

The Church of Angoville au Plain played a remarkable role during the Airborne Operations in Normandy, on June 6th 1944 and beyond.
Two American medics, Robert Wright and Kenneth Moore, turned the church into a makeshift fieldhospital, caring for over 80 wounded American paratroopers and a wounded local child.
Despite intense fighting in the area, they bravely provided medical aid, using any available resources, including the church's pews and a wheelbarrow.
The selfless actions of Wright and Moore in the midst of chaos exemplify the courage and compassion displayed during the D-Day Operations.
Today, visiting the church allows you to step back in time and appreciate the incredible stories of wartime heroism. -
