Over 13,000 US paratroops were dropped into the Cotentin marshland; the US 4th division came ashore on Utah Beach and linked up with them. Story tells of a US paratrooper who landed on the cathedral, he lived. If you look at the cathedral below you will see that they still have a "paratrooper" hanging from the top.

| As we were leaving a group of German soldiers were visiting the site, taking pictures and touring around. We were wondering what their thoughts might be. Interesting. |
