The D-Day invasion of Sainte-Mère-Église, as depicted in the film "The Longest Day," highlights a significant event during World War II when American paratroopers from the 82nd Airborne Division were dropped into the town on June 6, 1944. One of the most memorable scenes involves paratrooper John Steele, who famously got stuck on the church tower, hanging from his parachute. Steele remained suspended for hours, playing dead to avoid being shot by German soldiers. His ordeal symbolises the unexpected challenges faced by Allied forces during the Normandy invasion.
