You'll begin by boarding your motorcoach for the scenic drive to the small village of Sainte-Mère-Église, which played a dramatic role in the Normandy landings. Located along the route to Utah Beach, this town was a necessary place for the Allies to occupy in order to prevent the Germans from attacking the incoming troops.

One, John Steele, got his parachute hooked on the spire of the town's medieval church and hung there for several hours, feigning death, before the Germans took him prisoner.
