Description: ITALERI 6199 1/72 Battle Set: Sainte-Mere-Eglise Normandy June 6th 1944 Model Kit ITALERI 6199 1/72 Battle Set: Sainte-Mere-Eglise Normandy June 6th 1944 Model Kit Within the overall strategic planning of the acclaimed operation "Overlord", the code name for the Allied landings on the beaches of Normandy, the French village of Sainte-Mère-Église played a key role. On battle plan maps it was rightly identified as an important road junction that the defending Germans could have used to carry out rapid counter attacks directed towards the Utah and Omaha beach heads. It was therefore strategically important to attack and quickly occupy the village with American airborne troops to support the landings. In the early hours of June 6, 1944, paratroopers of the famous 82nd and 101st US Airborne Divisions secured the small French town following a period of intense fighting. The contribution made by the American paratroops has been widely recognized and celebrated in numerous movies from "The Longest Day" made in the 1960s, to the most recent "warmovies". FEATURES: Scale 1/72 Skill Level 2 Includes: Sainte-Mere-Eglise Church 48 U.S. Paratroopers 50 German Infantry Urban Accessories Sd.Kfz 251/1 Ausf.
