The Lost Paratroopers of Normandy

The Lost Paratroopers of Normandy explores the often-overlooked stories of the villagers of Graignes who, during D-Day, courageously aided paratroopers from the 82nd and 101st Airborne Divisions. As transport planes dropped soldiers off-target into perilous conditions, these villagers—primarily women—risked their safety to provide vital support, including food and intelligence, amidst the chaos of war. Historian Stephen G. Rabe, whose father was among the paratroopers, meticulously recounts this poignant history, highlighting the extraordinary acts of ordinary people in the fight for liberty.
