Sainte-Mère-Église is a small town in Normandy, France, notable for its role during the D-Day landings on June 6, 1944, in World War II. It was one of the first towns liberated by Allied forces, specifically by American paratroopers from the 82nd Airborne Division. The town gained fame due to the dramatic parachute landing of paratrooper John Steele, who became entangled on the church steeple, making it a symbol of the airborne operations. Today, Sainte-Mère-Église features several memorials and museums dedicated to this pivotal moment in history.
