Описание: It is one of the most famous sights in Normandy. Hanging from the church tower of Sainte-Mère-Église is a parachute and a soldier. This is the true story of John Steele. On June 6, 1944, Steele dropped into the chaos of the first town to be liberated by Allied forces. Bad luck struck: his parachute snagged on the church steeple. He was left dangling high above the square where German soldiers were fighting. Wounded in the foot and helpless, Steele played dead for hours, the church bells deafening him, watching the battle from above. He was eventually cut down and captured by the Germans but managed to escape and rejoin his division. To this day, the town keeps a mannequin hanging on the steeple—a permanent tribute to the man who literally suspended himself in history. #book_records, #facts, #interestingfacts, #worldrecords, #science, #history, #childheroes, #doctors, #shorts
