Made in France.
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.
