Sainte-Mère-Eglise: Photographs of D-Day
This exceptional volume brings together hundreds of never-before-published wartime photographs of the 82nd and 101st Airborne Divisions, taken in and around Sainte-Mère-Église in early June 1944. Captured just hours and days after the first paratroopers touched down, these rare images offer an unprecedented visual record of the men who spearheaded the liberation of Normandy. Alongside these period photographs, the book features stunning full-color images of original uniforms and equipment used during the battle for Sainte-Mère-Église, including some of the most iconic artifacts of the war. Among them: the helmet worn by General Matthew Ridgway during the Normandy campaign, and the personal gear carried by Maj. Dick Winters when he jumped near Sainte-Mère-Église on D-Day. A unique blend of frontline photography and meticulously documented artifacts, this book is both a tribute and an essential reference for anyone interested in the Airborne landings of 6 June 1944. 235 x 295cm, Hardback - 304 pages - 442 illustrations.

Book, Objectif Carentan
FRENCH VERSION ONLY Objectif Carentan. 6 juin 1944, deux divisions aéroportées américaines sont larguées à l'est de la Presqu'île du Cotentin. L'une d'elles, la 101ème, a pour mission d'ouvrir les sorties de plages pour la 4th Infantry Division qui va débarquer sur Utah Beach mais aussi de dégager les passages sur la Douve, au sud, au milieu des marais pour atteindre et prendre Carentan, petite ville située au coeur de cette zone aquatique mais aussi carrefour stratégique permettant la jonction avec la tête de pont d'Omaha Beach. Prendre Carentan, c'est réunir les forces américaines, un échec isolerait dangereusement les forces ayant pris pied dans le Cotentin. Les Allemands sont numériquement surclassés mais un régiment d'élite, les paras du Fallschirmjäger-Regiment 6 de Von der Heydte, se trouve à proximité et monte en ligne face à la 101ème. Ce sera alors un combat acharné entre paras américains et paras allemands, dans le secteur de Saint-Côme-du-Mont puis devant Carentan. Les paras du 502nd PIR attaquent sur la chaussée, avec de lourdes pertes puis sur la ferme Ingouf. C'est enfin le mythique combat du "carré de choux". Submergé dans Carentan, véritable "Cassino" normand, Von der Heydte décroche dans la nuit du 11 au 12 juin, avant la contre-attaque allemande du 13 menée par la "Götz". C'est un échec, la bataille est finie. Les Américains ont assuré la jonction entre les deux têtes de pont. Cet ouvrage de 80 pages couleur et très documenté, suit ces opérations mal connues, jour par jour avec de nombreux témoignages, documents et pièces exceptionnelles du terrain. L'auteur, George Bernage, historien, est le plus grand spécialiste du débarquement et de la Bataille de Normandie avec une quarantaine d'ouvrages publiés sur ce sujet depuis 1978. Un ouvrage à ne pas manquer, pour tous les passionnés des parachutistes.
