Sainte-Mère-Église, a village of the Cotentin peninsula, was made famous during the night from June 5th to 6th, 1944, during the American air Landing. The Steele soldier, an American parachutist, was then kept hung onto the bell tower of the church of the village. Today, a model and its parachute suspended at the bell tower of the church remind of the past events.

Near the church is the Airborne museum, which offers an exhibition dedicated to the Landing of the 82nd American airborne division.
