101st on D-DAY: The Most FAMOUS Then & Now
The 101st had a Rendezvous with Destiny in Normandy and thankfully their role in D-Day was captured for all time by men of the US Signal Corps.
One of those photos is especially famous, and possibly one of the most famous photos taken of a 101st paratrooper in Normandy! That is the photo of Wilbur Shanklin, but where was it taken and what events surrounded that location during D-Day and the following days?
In this episode of WW2 Wayfinder, I take you to Turqueville, near Sainte Mere Eglise and explain the location, the battle there and the enemy the 101st were facing there!
I hope you enjoy the episode.
