The Lost Paratroopers of Normandy

Stephen Rabe's book recounts the remarkable story of a group of American paratroopers who, through a series of mishaps, landed far off course in the small Norman village of Grenier on D-Day.

The narrative details the extraordinary courage and solidarity of the French villagers who risked their lives to aid and protect these stranded soldiers.

Despite facing immense danger from the occupying German forces, the villagers provided food, shelter, and intelligence to the paratroopers.

The book explores themes of resistance, human connection, and the profound impact of ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances, highlighting a lesser-known yet deeply inspiring chapter of World War II history.
