I just finished reading "The Longest Day" by Cornelius Ryan where he interviewed Pvt Steele. Steele says he dropped his knife and couldn't cut himself down and he witnessed the battle that ensued in the courtyard in front of him. He played dead and was later captured. One day I hope to visit the spot. There was a reenactment including the Central Valley chapter of our local military collecters club a few years ago, they took trucks/tanks over there and the locals went wild.

where is the dummy paratrooper on top of the church? is it that thing on the left
-
If you read the book "The Longest Day" (also a movie) it tells that he crash landed there. He tried to cut himself loose but dropped his knife. Then he decided to play dead. He was cut down by a German, not an American, and taken prisoner.

Was. He died in the late sixties. For years he went to St.Mere Eglise, on the 6th of June, to celebrate the d-day.

Its kinda irritating with the crappy camera handling but I know what it is...I heard the paratrooper lost his gun while getting stuck on the top

Sorry for the poor quality, but i shot the vid with a small camera and the belfry was so far... the paratrooper got shot in a foot and pretended to be dead eventually had been rescued the day after and for several years went to st mere eglise to celebrate the anniversary
