Summary
[edit]DescriptionÉglise Notre-Dame de Sainte-Marie-du-Mont (38476056504).jpg |
Lors du débarquement de Normandie, le 6 juin 1944, les troupes américaines de la 4e division d'infanterie débarquèrent sur la plage de la Madeleine, nommée Utah Beach et les parachutistes de la 82e et 101e divisions aéroportées furent largués dans les environs. Sainte-Marie-du-Mont revendique le titre de premier village français continental libéré le 6 juin 1944 (revendiqué également par les villages proches de Neuville-au-Plain et, plus sûrement, de Sainte-Mère-Église, libéré par les parachutistes quatre heures avant le débarquement sur les plages). Les hommes des 501st et 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st US Airborne Division, se posent en grappes disséminées aux abords du village dans la nuit du 6 juin 1944. En effet le bourg se trouve à proximité de la Drop Zone C dévolue à la division aéroportée. Le Général Taylor, commandant de la division, ainsi qu’une centaine d’hommes se mettent en chemin pour effectuer la jonction avec les troupes qui vont arriver à l’aube sur Utah Beach. Sur la route, ils neutralisent un poste et une batterie allemande. Cependant d’autres américains se sont posés en plein milieu du village. Des accrochages avec l’ennemi donnent lieu à des situations rocambolesques, menant souvent à des drames. Sur une idée de Gilles Perrault, habitant de la commune, 14 plaques aujourd’hui fixées dans les rues et autour de l’église romane rappellent ces instants particuliers pour les troopers de la 101st. Ce qui donne une atmosphère particulière au lieu, entre méditation et recueillement.
[EN] 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 |
