| Description |
Bullet hole 1944 inside church of sainte marie du mont, It is best known for being the scene of a military engagement between the American 101st Airborne Division and the German Wehrmacht on D-Day, June 6, 1944. On June 6, 2012, the 68th Anniversary of the D-Day landings, a 12-foot tall bronze statue in veteran Richard Winters' likeness was unveiled near the village. Winters only agreed for the statue to bear his resemblance on the condition that the monument would be dedicated to all junior officers who served and died during the Normandy landings. A plaque paying tribute to the soldiers of the 101st Airborne Division In the hamlet of La Madeleine, a monument in honour of the Danish sailors was erected. 800 of them took part in the logistics of landing on allied ships A plaque paying tribute to the soldiers of the 101st Airborne Division [FR] Trace d’une rafale tirée par un para US afin de déloger les 2 allemands cachés à l’intérieur de l’église. Ces derniers se rendront finalement. Sainte-Marie-du-Mont sera libérée dans l’après-midi du D-Day par des éléments des 501st et 506th PIR. Cette prise permettra de prendre en tenaille les allemands fuyant vers l’Ouest afin d’échapper aux troupes de libération venues de la plage. Auparavant, plus à l’Est, à Pouppeville, il est 10h40 du matin quand le Général Maxwell Taylor serre la main d’éléments avancés du 8th Infantry Régiment, élément de la 4th Infantry Division. Taylor précède de quelques minutes son homologue le Général Gavin (82nd US Airbone Division). La route vers Sainte-Marie-du-Mont devenait alors l’Exit 2 sur Utah, porte ouverte pour l’avancée alliée vers Carentan puis Cherbourg.<a href="http://www.plagesdu6juin1944.com/accueil/utah/itineraire-n-6/sainte-marie-du-mont.html" rel="noreferrer nofollow">www.plagesdu6juin1944.com/accueil/utah/itineraire-n-6/sai...</a> |
